New Huddersfield defender Sean Roughan says he is relishing the chance to impress at the back after joining from Lincoln City.

Roughan, 21, signed a three-year deal at the John Smith's Stadium after leaving the Imps this summer.

Despite being versatile enough to play as a centre-back, full-back and wing-back, Roughan believes he is best in a defensive role.

"I'm hard-working first of all, I want to get forward but defend first and foremost - I love defending," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I like to join attacks rather than being the attack. Wing-back isn't my best position, I prefer left-back and centre back.

"Wherever I am, I'm happy. You can't take playing for granted; once I'm on the pitch, I'll take it in my stride."

Having made his Lincoln debut in 2020, Roughan admits it was "tough" to leave but is excited by the new challenge.

"I thought it was the best time to move on - I had two good full seasons [in the first team], it was tough to leave but I thought the move was for me," he added.

Goalkeeper Owen Goodman says he hopes to develop his game and help Huddersfield Town return to the Championship after joining on loan from Crystal Palace.

Goodman, 21, is yet to play a competitive game for Palace but has enjoyed spells on loan at Colchester United and AFC Wimbledon, helping the latter win the League Two play-offs last season.

And he is targeting another promotion at the John Smith's Stadium.

"I want to come here and take the next step," Goodman told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I have dreams and aspirations and this is the best place to be for my journey.

"Last year I played 54 games. I want to play every league game. I want to help the club get promoted.

"The goal is promotion and we want to do it by winning the league. We want to beat everyone - that is the aim."

Goodman is keen to work with new Terriers boss Lee Grant, a goalkeeper in his playing days with the likes of Norwich City and Manchester United.

"The gaffer wants to help me," he added. "I'm coming here on loan, working with a manager who is an ex-goalkeeper. I've come here to play."

New Huddersfield Town signing Lynden Gooch is targeting a return to the Premier League at the John Smith's Stadium.

The versatile USA winger has signed a three-year deal after joining from Championship side Stoke.

Despite dropping down to League One, the 29-year-old is hoping the Terriers can return to the top flight after a two-year spell there between 2017 and 2019.

"I want to get promoted and achieve something with this group," Gooch told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I am coming here to compete and win and hopefully be a Championship player next season. I think the club is a well-established Championship club, the fans who have experienced the Premier League will want to get back there. That is what we need to drive for."

Gooch, who began his career at Sunderland and played in the Premier League for them, has warned his new team-mates to not get ahead of themselves.

"We need to take it one step at a time, but the long-term ambition is to be competing for the Premier League again, there is no doubt about that.

"I have not given up on that dream."
