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.
