Huddersfield Town Manager Lee Grant has named his first competitive side after taking charge earlier this summer, handing out eight full debuts as Town host Leyton Orient at the Accu Stadium for their 2025/26 Sky Bet League One season opener.
Returning to HD1 for a repeat of our final game of the 2024/25 campaign, Town will see eight full debuts as Owen Goodman, Ryan Ledson, Joe Low, Jack Whatmough, Lynden Gooch, Marcus Harness, Sean Roughan and Alfie May all make their first competitive starts as Terriers.
Named our new Club captain earlier this week, Ryan Ledson will lead out Town at the Accu Stadium for the first time having been a substitute in our final pre-season friendly against Burnley, with fellow midfielder Herbie Kane the only player in the starting side to have featured from minute one the last time the two sides met in May.
Ben Wiles and Mickel Miller are the only other existing members of the squad to start this afternoon, with Town welcoming 12 new faces to the Club since the summer transfer window opened. Backed by a strong and experienced bench, defender Radinio Balker is welcomed back to a competitive match day squad for the first time since April after missing the tail of last season with an ankle injury.
As confirmed by Manager Lee Grant earlier this week in his match preview with the Club, midfielder Antony Evans will be missing for a number of weeks after suffering an impact injury to his knee in a pre-season friendly during the Club’s tour of Austria.
