Leicester City striker Jermaine Beckford will stay at Huddersfield until the end of the season.
City have agreed to extend the 29-year-old forward's loan spell with the Terriers until the end of May.
Beckford has already spent the last three months on loan with the Yorkshire club. Since joining Huddersfield in September, Beckford has made eight appearances and scored three goals for Simon Grayson's team, who currently sit 15th in the npower Championship table. He will be available to feature for the Terriers in all competitions, including the FA Cup, but will be ineligible for their visit to King Power Stadium on New Year's Day.
The deal comes as no surprise with City boss Nigel Pearson revealing that he is in the hunt for a striker in the January transfer window and Beckford making it clear he wanted regular first-team football, which he wasn't getting at City.
