Lionel Ainsworth has agreed terms on a two and a half year deal at Huddersfield, once he passes a medical.
He will be joined at the Galpharm Stadium by Stockport winger Anthony Pilkington. The 20 year old joins on a three and a half year deal. Both fees are undisclosed, but Pilkington was rumoured to be a £1million target.
Ainsworth departs Watford after just eight starts and twelve sub appearances in fourteen months on loan and permanent transfer.
Pilkington's move was accepted by the Hatters after Jimmy McNulty rejected a £150,000 switch to Brighton, citing their poor League position and the distance involved. It is understood the fee for Pilkington is sufficient for them to balance the books for this season, though they will have to hand 20% of it to their former owners as part of the deal that saw supporters take over the club.
Hereford United manager Graham Turner is reported to have made enquiries about bringing Ainsworth back to Edgar Street but it appears he couldn't, or wouldn't, compete with the fee being offered.
