Blues Swoop For Koroma

Huddersfield forward arrives on loan

1 September 2022

Pompey have completed the signing of Josh Koroma from Huddersfield in a loan deal until the end of the season.

Danny Cowley previously worked with the 23-year-old forward when he was in charge of the Championship club during the 2019/20 campaign.

The Blues boss said: “Josh is a boy we obviously know very well and he’s had an excellent career to date, but is still very young.

“He started at Leyton Orient and did brilliantly there under the late Justin Edinburgh, playing a big part in helping them get promoted back into the Football League.

“He’s a boy who can play in a multitude of positions – on the left, on the right or as a number nine. It gives us real versatility and flexibility at the top end of the pitch.

"We’re excited to have him with us and it’s the final piece of what’s been a really positive transfer window for this football club."

“Josh has real pace and power. He loves to dribble, while he’s a clean striker of the ball – inside and outside of the box – and takes set-pieces.

“We’re excited to have him with us and it’s the final piece of what’s been a really positive transfer window for this football club.”

Koroma began his career with Leyton Orient and made more than 100 appearances for the Londoners.

He was bought by Huddersfield in the summer of 2019 and had a spell on loan with Rotherham later that season.

Koroma has netted 13 goals in 72 outings for the Terriers and featured four times for them in the current campaign.
