Fleetwood make Harratt loan deal permanent

Kian Harratt's first two goals for Fleetwood came in an EFL Trophy game against Barrow in October

Fleetwood Town have signed forward Kian Harratt to a permanent deal for the remainder of the season.

The 22-year-old, who spent the first half of the campaign on loan from League One side Huddersfield Town, has scored three goals in 20 appearances for the club, most recently a stunning late strike to secure a Boxing Day victory over Chesterfield.

Although his initial loan spell was signed off under former boss Charlie Adam on deadline day in the summer transfer window, Harratt's first league start came in the team's New Year's Day defeat at Doncaster Rovers.

The young striker began his senior career with the Terriers in 2019 but has spent much of his recent seasons out on loan, with previous placements including at Port Vale and Bradford City.

Fleetwood are 16th in League Two, having won just once since early November, and they next face Gillingham on Saturday.
