Huddersfield Town FC defender Brodie Spencer 'buzzing' after scoring first goal

Shankill teenager Brodie Spencer was left "buzzing" after scoring his first goal for Huddersfield Town Under 23s.

The Northern Ireland youth international got on the scoresheet in his side's 8-1 hammering of Salford City on Wednesday.

Former Cliftonville Academy youngster Spencer, 17, has impressed since joining the Terriers in the summer of 2020.

He signed his first professional deal last September and now has his first B-Team goal under his belt.

“I’m absolutely buzzing!" he told the club's website.

“I’ve been working hard to develop that side of my game, to get to the next level I need to improve the attacking side, so getting my name on the score sheet – I’m buzzing!

“Now that I’ve had a header go in, I’ve got a lot more confidence to go for it at the next corner.

“I believe that I’ll be able to score again and again with people like Ben Midgley and Ben Jackson taking the corners – the quality of their deliveries is unbelievable.

“When someone is taking a corner, I want to be the one scoring from it.”

Spencer has also been training with Huddersfield's first team this season, and he admits the higher tempo and level is a steep learning curve.

“Training with the first team is a completely different level," he said.

“The tempo is absolutely unbelievable and just to be in and around those players and see what they do on a day-to-day basis is amazing.

“I think it’s very good for me at a young age to be able to do that.

“It allows me to add things into my game that I see them doing and then I can bring that to the B Team with me and help push my teammates to bring out the best in them.”
