Huddersfield Town’s travelling fans will see some familiar faces lining up against their side on Saturday.

Defenders Lee Peltier and Sean Morrison and wideman Anthony Pilkington have all been regulars in Russell Slade’s team this term.



Right-back Peltier, 28, has had two spells at the John Smith’s Stadium, and left Town for Cardiff in January.

Lee Peltier.
The transfer brought a reunion with Slade, his manager at Yeovil Town, from whom Town first signed him in 2009.

After spells at Leicester City and Leeds United, he returned in June 2014 and started last season as skipper.

He lost the armband when Town signed Mark Hudson – from Cardiff!

Peltier’s second spell brought nine starts and three substitute appearances.

In his first Town stint, from 2009-11, he made 103 appearances (all starts) and scored three goals.

Centre-back Morrison, 24, was one of Town’s Wembley heroes of 2012.


He put away a penalty in the exciting 8-7 shoot-out success over Sheffield United which took Town to the Championship.

Morrison was on loan from Reading, and made 22 appearances, scoring once.

The Swindon Town product joined Cardiff during the 2014 August transfer window.

Pilkington arrived from Norwich City for £1m at the same time.
