Giant centre-forward Kyle Hudlin has joined Huddersfield Town - less than a year after being on the watchlist of Manchester City.
The 6ft 9in striker, who is thought to be the tallest outfield player in Britain, has joined the Terriers after leaving National League side Solihull Moors. It was last August when representatives acting on behalf of the Premier League champions went and watched Hudlin, now aged 22.
The interest came after initially watching a video of the player before the call was made to go and see him in person during a National League game. They were joined by scouts from a number of other clubs, including Middlesbrough and Cardiff City. Ultimately the forward would stay put and came within a whisker of firing Moors into the EFL. The West Midlands outfit lost 2-1 to Grimsby in last season's play-off final.
