Overview

  • Leo Castledine has joined Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan from Chelsea to secure regular first-team football in League One.
  • The under-21 midfielder made 26 appearances for Shrewsbury Town last season before a back injury cut his loan short in February.
  • Chelsea have the option to extend Castledine’s contract until 2027, reflecting their strategy of protecting long-term investments in youth talent.
  • He becomes Huddersfield’s 12th signing of the summer and their third loan addition from a Premier League club under new manager Lee Grant.
  • The move continues Chelsea’s systematic loan approach and taps into Huddersfield’s proven record of nurturing young loanees like Colwill, Chalobah, Anjorin and Matos.
