Millwall manager Kenny Jackett has denied rumours Zak Whitbread rejected the opportunity to join League One rivals Huddersfield Town on loan last week.

The American defender, who is looking for a way out of The Den, is currently out with a hip injury and is not expected to return until the New Year.

Lee Clark's Terriers came calling and after a deal could not be struck, reports surfaced suggesting Whitbread had refused the switch, but Jackett has denied this.

Speaking to the press, he said: "We basically ran out of time unfortunately and it certainly isn't the case Zak rejected Huddersfield or isn't interested.

"He is working well now and it was only loan deals last week as well, so quite obviously with him having turned a contract offer down here, there are possibilities of him moving on in January."
