Bobby Wales will aim to show during his stint at Huddersfield Town that he has the tools to shine at Swansea City. Following Wales' transfer deadline day switch to the Terriers, 19-year-old academy product Woodward has been promoted to Swansea's first-team squad. An attacking midfielder or forward, Wales youth international Woodward joined Swansea when aged eight and has been a regular goalscorer for the club's under-18s and under-21s.

And while Wales is in Yorkshire, Thomas Woodward will try to seize his opportunity to impress in Swansea.
Following Wales' transfer deadline day switch to the Terriers, 19-year-old academy product Woodward has been promoted to Swansea's first-team squad.
An attacking midfielder or forward, Wales youth international Woodward joined Swansea when aged eight and has been a regular goalscorer for the club's under-18s and under-21s.
Wales made his Huddersfield debut as a substitute in their 2-2 draw with Blackpool last weekend, coming on for the final 33 minutes, and will aim to feature once more when the Terriers host Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday.
The hope for Vitor Matos is that 20-year-old Wales will play regular football during his spell in League One, while Woodward will fill in for him at Swansea.
"I think it's important that Bobby plays consistently from now on to keep his development, and as well for us to keep and eye on him with proper competition," Swansea's head coach said.
"With that, we create space as well for Woody (Woodward) to train with the first team. That is important for us to see.
"He's a good player on the academy and we want him to do a next step as well. We used the academy and I think that's why I'm really happy."
