Huddersfield Town have handed contract extensions to teenage duo Simon Eastwood and Shane Killock.

Goalkeeper Eastwood and defender Killock will now remain at the Galpharm Stadium until the summer of 2009.

Eastwood is a current England Under-19 international, while Killock broke into the first-team picture this season in a clash with Crewe in September.

"To me, goalkeepers are like strikers in that they are a precious commodity. Once you have good goalkeepers, you need to try and hang on to them," manager Andy Ritchie told the club's official website.

"We're trying to do that and we'll be looking to build on Simon's potential.

"Shane showed his potential in that game at Crewe and he's been on the bench since, giving him useful experience of the first-team scene.

"There's plenty we can work with in both cases."
