We should win the EFL Trophy - Feeney

Huddersfield Town defender Josh Feeney believes the club could end their 104-year wait to win a cup competition as they begin their EFL Trophy campaign in their Northern Group F fixture against Newcastle United Under-21s tonight (19:45 BST).

Feeney, who signed for Town this summer on loan from Aston Villa, is confident his side can get all the way to Wembley. First up is a testing group which includes League Two Harrogate Town, Newcastle's U21s and League One Mansfield Town.

But confidence is high amongst the squad after a promising start to their League One campaign which has set an ambitious tone at the club. Town sit sixth in the table after four wins and two losses.

"We all think we can win [the EFL Trophy] and we should win as well. We're all ready every game. We'll be on it and looking to win," Feeney told BBC Radio Leeds.

"These are the biggest games for [the under-21s] lads, so they'll come here really excited, a bit nervous but ready for this game and we need to be the same because we want to win this competition and we think we can."

Now that Feeney is six league games into his season-long loan spell at Town, he recognises the stature of the club describing it as a "massive club, the fanbase is incredible for this level."

The 20-year-old's confidence no doubt has grown as he gets more settled into life at Huddersfield. He says manager Lee Grant was a major factor in placing his short-term future in West Yorkshire.

"I knew [Grant] was a good young coach. Once he spoke to me about his ideas it was a no-brainer, I didn't look to go anywhere else apart from here," he added.
