Huddersfield’s Rajiv van La Parra completes move to Red Star Belgrade

Huddersfield winger Rajiv van La Parra has completed a permanent move to Serbian side Red Star Belgrade for an undisclosed fee.

Van La Parra, 28, who spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at Middlesbrough, made five appearances for Huddersfield this season, including Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Luton.

Terriers chairman Phil Hodgkinson said: “We received the offer for Rajiv during the Luton Town game and both him and his representatives made it very clear that he didn’t want to be a Huddersfield Town player anymore.

“The club always has to come first and it’s important that the players in our squad are fully committed to the cause.

“I want players who want to play for this football club and its fantastic supporters; they deserve that.

“The offer meets our valuation and the player gets the move he was pushing for.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
