Huddersfield Town loanee Richard Keogh earned high praise from manager Andy Ritchie after an impressive Terriers debut in the 2-1 win at Millwall.

The 21-year-old Bristol City stopper made an instant impact with Town and Ritchie was delighted with his new recruit.

He told the Daily Examiner: "He's what I like to call an old-fashioned type of centre-back, he heads it, kicks it and runs out of the box.

"He's a big, strong lad who was outstanding with Bristol City last season and he is just the sort of person we are looking for, a good character who gives it his all.

"For his debut, I thought he was immense and it was a massive win for the whole club."

Keogh himself added: "I'm not in the side at Bristol City at the moment and if that situation doesn't change, then obviously I would love to stay here."
