Peltier scored one goal last season

Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Lee Peltier from League One rivals Yeovil Town.

The 22-year-old right-back has penned a three-year deal at the Galpharm Stadium to become Town's fourth summer signing.

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds: "Lee is a player I know well; he is a fantastic athlete and is very accomplished on the ball.

"We had him on trial when I was assistant at Norwich City but we didn't have the finances to secure the deal."

Peltier joined Yeovil permanently in January 2008 after a successful loan spell at the club, the former Liverpool trainee spent time on loan at Hull City in 2007 and can also play in midfield.

Clark added: "We are delighted to have Lee here, he will be a tremendous asset, he can also play as a holding midfield player or at centre-back and Antony Kay is another versatile lad.

"These versatile players give me options. I am looking forward to working with Lee.

"There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding whether or not we will get Martin Kelly [from Liverpool] and if so whether it will be before the start of the season.

"I felt it was necessary to bring in a permanent right-back anyway. Lee is another player who was being courted by clubs from the league above and others in this division, but we got the chance to talk to him and once we explained where we want to go as a club it all fell into place."
