Smithies: Back in action

Sky Bet

Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies has completed his first full 90 minutes of action following a 10-month injury lay-off.

The former England Under-21 goalkeeper has been sidelined since March last year due to a knee injury which required two operations.

But the 21-year-old, yet to appear for Huddersfield this season, has been back in full training for the last three weeks and suffered no ill-effects after appearing for a Huddersfield development side in a 3-1 defeat to an experienced Blackburn outfit behind closed doors.
