Huddersfield legend Booth has only played five games this season

Huddersfield Town's Andy Booth will make the next stage of his comeback from back surgery in Tuesday's friendly at Premier League side Blackburn.

The 35-year-old striker made his first appearance in three months as a sub in Saturday's draw at Northampton.

Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds: "He got 10 minutes under his belt, made a great contribution and we can now build on that.

"He is still hungry and that's what I want and he is great to have involved."

Town are expected to field a strong line-up for the behind-closed-doors game.

Clarke added: "This game will be a big test for the players and will be very beneficial for all concerned.

"It will be a learning experience for the younger lads and a good test for the more experienced boys.

These are the type of games I want now and I'll be looking to have more games like this."
