Town manager Peter Jackson said, "Obviously I am absolutely delighted that we have finally reached an agreement on Luke. It has dragged on a lot longer than I think all of us wanted but it is done now and it is great news for Huddersfield Town. I had other striker options and there were other clubs interested in him but Luke has been my first choice for a long time and this was the only place he wanted to come. He scored six goals in seven games for us on loan in 2005 and had a great return last season, scoring 18 goals in 28 starts, a ratio which put him in the top five strikers in the country. Like I say, it has been a long, drawn out process but we held our nerve and I am sure he will be worth it. He is a proven goalscorer and I am sure he will be a huge success here."
