Mipo Odubeko Joins Huddersfield Town

31st August 2021

Following an impressive season in PL2, where Mipo Odubeko netted 14 goals in just 12 appearances, he has taken a significant step in his career by joining Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan.

Before embarking on this new challenge, Mipo committed his future to West Ham United by signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2023. His integration into the first team during the 2020/21 season reflects his determination and readiness to compete at a higher level, showcasing the ambitions he holds for his footballing journey.

This loan to Huddersfield Town presents an excellent opportunity for Mipo to further develop his skills and adapt to senior football. Playing at The John Smith’s Stadium will allow him to continue his goal-scoring momentum and test his abilities in a competitive environment. With the right mindset and dedication, this chapter in his career could pave the way for even greater achievements. We look forward to witnessing Mipo's growth and contributions as he embarks on this exciting new adventure.

“We’re delighted to welcome Mipo to Huddersfield Town today. He’s one of the most promising young strikers in England at the moment, and we’re delighted that West Ham have entrusted us with this phase of his development. Mipo adds some different qualities to our forward options and, when we spoke, it was clear he has a huge desire to show what he’s capable of in senior football.”

— Leigh Bromby, Head of Football Operations

“Mipo is a young striker with potential, who offers us something different in the attacking areas. He can play as a single striker or as a front pairing, and his finishing is a real strength; he has a very good shot from both his left and right sides. I am looking forward to working with him over the coming weeks and months.”
