What Wolves loanee Tawanda Chirewa will bring to Huddersfield Town's forward line
Huddersfield Town strengthened their squad on transfer deadline day with the addition of Tawanda Chirewa from Wolves.
The attacker has joined the Terriers on loan until the end of the season, with the 21-year-old becoming Town’s fourth and final signing of the window.
Chirewa is Town’s third loanee from the Premier League outfit, with Joe Hodge and Nigel Lonwijk having also signed from the Old Gold during the summer.

Chirewa started out at Ipswich Town before making the switch to Wolves in September 2023, with the attacker making 10 appearances in all competitions last term for the club.
The 21-year-old spent the first half of this season on loan at Derby County, where he featured six times in all competitions, before being recalled earlier this month.
“Tawanda has a unique skillset compared to our existing attacking options, and his flexibility to play anywhere in the final third with comfort was a real appeal to us,” sporting director Mark Cartwright told his club’s website.
“A young, hungry, attack-minded player, we’re excited to have Tawanda join the group for the remainder of the season and provide Michael (Duff) with another good quality option.
“We’re really pleased with how both Nigel and Joe have handled themselves having joined from the same club, and with a lot of meaningful football left to play, Tawanda has a great chance to have a real say on how our season progresses alongside his new teammates.”
Head coach Duff added: “Getting in quality additions this late into the transfer window is difficult, so we’re really happy to have Tawanda join our group for the remainder of the season.
“With a big potential, our job is to help him show the talent we know he has. An exciting forward player, his versatility is an asset, increasing our options and points of attack.
“We have a lot of important games to come in a short space of time, so I’m looking forward to working with Tawanda and seeing him contribute in the run in ahead.”
