Kyle Hudlin to Huddersfield: Footage of Britain's tallest footballer in action

Huddersfield Town announced the signing of Kyle Hudlin earlier this week.

The Terriers have paid Solihull Moors an undisclosed fee for the Englishman’s services.

Hudlin has signed a two-year deal and will initially play for the club’s B team.

Hudlin, a striker, could be about to give Championship defenders nightmares this season.

The 22-year-old is Britain’s tallest outfield player in Britain. He stands at 6 foot 9 inches tall (206cm).

He even towers above Peter Crouch – he is two inches taller than the former Tottenham and Liverpool target man.

Hudlin joined Solihull Moors in 2020. He scored 15 times in 62 games for the National League side.

He scored the opening goal in the National league playoff final at the start of June but, unfortunately for Solihull Moors, they went on to lose 2-1 to Grimbsy in extra-time.

YouTuber user CSNFootballVideos has compiled his highlights for Solihull Moors over the past few years. View them below…

Hudlin looks a real handful. Having only turned 22 last month, he is still young and could develop into a key player for Huddersfield.

He will be looking to emulate the success of his Huddersfield teammate, Sorba Thomas.

Like Hudlin, The Terriers signed Thomas from National League side Boreham Wood in 2021. He is now one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Huddersfield are excited by the signing of Hudlin and are confident he will continue to develop as a footballer.
