David Edgar: Birmingham City defender joins Huddersfield Town

David Edgar has 26 international caps for Canada

Birmingham City defender David Edgar has joined Championship rivals Huddersfield Town on loan until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has made 19 appearances for Blues this term, but only three of those since Gary Rowett took over as manager in October.

His most recent game came as a second-half sub against Leeds on Saturday.

Canada international Edgar came through the youth ranks at Newcastle and also had a spells at Burnley and Swansea.

"He's a very capable player in a number of defensive positions, having played during his career at centre-back, right-back, left-back and in a holding midfield role in the top two divisions in England," said Terriers boss Chris Powell.

"David also has a well-earned reputation as a leader and organiser on the pitch, which will be of great benefit to the team."
