Mooy credits Terriers faithful for Huddersfield success

Aaron Mooy was a key cog in Huddersfield’s fairytale promotion from the Championship last term and claims that unconditional support from the fans was the reason for his success.

Mooy joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City last summer and made 51 appearances in the heart of the Terriers midfield as they earned a spot in the Premier League for the first time via the play-offs.

So impressive was the Australian, that he was named Huddersfield’s Player of the Season following a string of exceptional displays.

And he admits the Terriers faithful will always hold a special place in his heart.

“Right from the start they backed me and believed in me,” explained Mooy. “When you start at a new club that’s what you want from the fans and sometimes it’s what you need.

“I loved playing in front of them all season long. Always big crowds and a great atmosphere, it was terrific.

“I will remember this season forever. It was a massive achievement for one of the smaller clubs in the division and nobody really expected it. I am really proud.”

Mooy’s future is currently up in the air with a number of clubs, including Huddersfield, supposedly interested in securing his signature.

The 26-year-old’s Man City career appears to be over, but a transfer fee of £12m is being touted as the price to capture him from the Etihad Stadium.
