New Town deal for Hardy

Huddersfield Town manager Andy Ritchie has extended defender Aaron Hardy's contract until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old initially penned a six-month deal with the Terriers when Ritchie first arrived at the club in the summer.
"Azza was struggling with an ankle problem when I was appointed," Ritchie told Town's official website.
"He couldn't even train, let alone play matches and, having talked to my assistant John Dungworth and Martyn Booty, I thought it would be remiss of me not to have a first-hand look.
"That was the thinking behind giving him six-month terms, and I've been pleased with what I've seen so far."
Hardy has made 19 first-team appearances for Town.
