Luton-born Simon Eastwood is a Huddersfield Town academy product

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Simon Eastwood is keen to go out on loan again as he continues to search for first-team football.

The 20-year-old is back at Town after spending the first half of the season out on loan at Bradford City.

"There is only me and Alex Smithies here now so I have to stay," Eastwood told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I would have liked to go out on loan again, but the situation is not right at the moment."

Eastwood played 27 games for League Two Bradford before returning to the Galpharm Stadium.

Bradford then brought in Matt Glennon as Eastwood's replacement after Glennon's contract was cancelled at Huddersfield.

It means Town only have two senior goalkeepers on their books and that Eastwood cannot leave on loan again.

"I just want to keep playing first team football now but, with Matt leaving, the situation now changes.

"It means I have to stay here and try and push for that first-team spot. I understand that and am happy to do it.

"Sometimes you have to be patient and it looks like now for the next six months I have to focus on just trying to push Alex.

"I'm enjoying being back here, but I do miss first team football.

"Now I need to use all that back here at Huddersfield and try and get into the first team."
