Quote:Huddersfield Town Manager Lee Grant has named 11 changes to his starting side for this evening’s Vertu Trophy Group F away tie with Harrogate Town at the Exercise Stadium; Tuesday 30 September 2025, 7.45pm kick-off.

Changes for Town begin in goal, with Crystal Palace loanee Owen Goodman back in the starting line-up for this first time since recently returning from suspension. Lee Nicholls drops to the bench as a result, with Goodman making his first appearance in the Vertu Trophy this season.

Captained by defender Murray Wallace, he is joined in defence by Sean Roughan and Lynden Gooch, who makes his first start after returning from injury as a substitute at the weekend. The experienced trio will be alongside U21 defender George Iorpenda tonight, who follows in the footsteps of older brother Tom by making his senior debut for Town.

Far from the only U21 starting this evening, Iorpenda will walk out at the Exercise Stadium with teammates Cameron Ashia, Jay Sway and Dan Vost, who have all made their own impressions at First Team level this season. Ashia and Vost have been regulars from the bench in recent weeks and within cup competitions, with Sway having come off the bench in our first Vertu Trophy group stage tie with Newcastle United U21s earlier this month.

In the final third this evening, the Terriers will have Joe Taylor, Dion Charles and Bojan Radulović to call on, with Charles and Radulović making their last appearances from the bench against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last week.

Anchored by goalkeeper Lee Nicholls and forward Alfie May, there is a youthful feel to the bench this evening, with five of our U21s group available as substitutes. All in line to make their senior Club debuts should they be selected, Lee Grant will have defenders Ian Togo and Omari Mrisho, midfielder Jackson Shorrocks and attackers George Sebine and Sahil Bashir among his options.

Having welcomed back Lynden Gooch, the Terriers still remain without Antony Evans (knee), Mickel Miller (hamstring), Marcus McGuane (groin), Herbie Kane (groin), Jack Whatmough (calf), Will Alves (foot) and Zépiqueno Redmond (knee).
