Leicester City striker Jermaine Beckford will remain with Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.

Leicester City striker Jermaine Beckford has extended his loan spell with Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old, who arrived at the John Smith's Stadium at the end of September, has scored three goals in eight games for the Championship club.

He had been due to return to his parent club at the end of December, but the agreement will now keep him at Huddersfield until May 31.

"This decision came naturally. Simon Grayson and the players have shown a lot of faith in me. It feels like the right place to be right now," Beckford told the club's official website.

"The reaction of the fans always plays a part in this sort of decision too, because they are the fabled 12th man. For the Huddersfield Town fans to take me in like they have done is a contributing factor to me wanting to extend the loan."

Meanwhile, boss Simon Grayson added: "I think people have seen his qualities and what he can bring to this football club when he's been in the team. He has a real hunger and desire to succeed here and do well for us.

"Unfortunately we've missed Jermaine a bit through injury, but hopefully he will get a clear run now and get plenty of games and goals under his belt."

Beckford has also represented Leeds United and Everton.
