Huddersfield Town have made a double swoop for Watford winger Lionel Ainsworth and Stockport County midfielder Anthony Pilkington.

The duo join for undisclosed fees, with Pilkington signing a three-and-a-half-year deal, while Ainsworth joins on a contract running until the summer of 2011.

Terriers boss Lee Clark told the club's official website: "They fill the criteria I set out for players being young, hungry and good footballers.

"They can play at the level above this and beyond and there is a lot of room to develop them as players.

"They are outstanding young footballers at this moment in time but they are hungry to do better.

"Once we had an agreement from their clubs it was quite easy. The players were very enthusiastic, we told them what we want to achieve long term and they bought into it."
