Terriers secure Pearce's signature

Pearce, 20, has joined initially on an emergency loan, which will allow him to play in Huddersfield's midweek league clash against Bristol Rovers, before completing a switch to the Galpharm Stadium on Wednesday. Pearce, who joined the Blues as a 10-year-old but has not appeared for the first-team at St Andrew's, recently returned from a six-month loan spell at Peterborough. The former England youth international is hoping to convince Town manager Lee Clark he is worth a longer-term deal in the summer.
