Huddersfield sign former Colchester striker Tovide

Huddersfield Town have signed former Colchester United forward Samson Tovide on a three-year deal.

Colchester had been in contract discussions with Tovide following the conclusion of last season.

He made 151 appearances in all competitions for the Essex club after coming through their academy and scored 21 goals prior to his exit earlier this summer.

"This has been an important summer for me, and I've had a choice to make in which team I thought would be right to take the next step with in my career and develop my game," he told the Huddersfield website.

"In every conversation with the club, it gave me huge confidence about coming to Huddersfield Town, and I feel very blessed and honoured to sign for such a big club."
