FC United sign new goalkeeper on temporary loan

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Ed Wilczynski has today joined FC United of Manchester on loan until 16 January 2014.

A first year professional, 19-year-old Ed hails from Mount in Huddersfield and graduated from the club’s Academy at the conclusion of last season. This season he has made four appearances for Town’s Under-21s and a further four for the Under-18s as an over-age player, but with neither side having a competitive game until mid-January he will join FC United on loan.

United manager Karl Marginson said: “We are very grateful to Steve Eyre and everyone at Huddersfield Town for helping us out at short notice. Hopefully this will help Ed in his development as well as benefiting us over the Christmas period."

Huddersfield Town’s Senior Professional Development Coach Steve Eyre commented: “With no Under-21 games until 13 January, this is the ideal scenario for Ed to continue to develop. We know this move will suit both parties.

“He will learn different things at FC United as he’ll be playing competitive football against seasoned players in a team that is looking to push on and gain promotion. Ed will also learn what it’s like to play in front of the good crowd and atmosphere that FC United get. We think he’s ready for that challenge and we will monitor his progress very carefully.???
