Huddersfield defender Eccleston joins Grimsby

Neo Eccleston spent time on loan at Barrow last season

Huddersfield defender Neo Eccleston has joined Grimsby Town on a season's loan.

The 21-year-old former Chelsea academy player joined the West Yorkshire club's youth setup in 2020 and after making his senior debut on loan at Barrow last season, also made his Terriers debut towards the end of the campaign.

The London-born player built up a wealth of experience at Holker Street last season, making 24 appearances for the Bluebirds.

"Neo is a prestigious talent who we've had our eyes on for a while," Grimsby boss David Artell said.

"He's unbelievably athletic and had a successful loan spell last season at Barrow."
