Huddersfield Town have signed Birmingham City striker Alfie May for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.

The 32-year-old joined Blues from Charlton Athletic last summer and scored 16 goals in 44 appearances in League One last season as they won the title.

A prolific goalscorer in the third tier, May was the top scorer in the division for Charlton in 2023-24 with 23 goals and he scored a total of 43 league goals for Cheltenham across the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

"It's no secret that this is a club that I've come close to joining in the past, and I'm really pleased the opportunity has come again to become a Town player," he said.

"This is a huge club with massive ambition and that's all any player wants to feel a part of.

"I was in a team last season that felt similarly so I know what's possible when a squad clicks with a manager and there's a positive feeling across the whole club, and that's something I recognise here."
