MARK Hughes reckons he can see a bit of himself in Kian Harratt after making the Huddersfield striker his sixth summer signing.

The 19-year-old has joined on a season-long loan - less than a week after scoring at Wembley.

He spent the second half of the last campaign with Port Vale - and netted the opener in their 3-0 win over Mansfield in the play-off final.

Harratt, who had a previous six-match youth loan spell with Guiseley, also hit the post and had another effort ruled out for offside.

It is understood that City have beaten off interest from League One to land the teenager - who now hopes to repeat his promotion heroics with the Bantams.

Harratt, who has also been at Leeds and Barnsley, said: “I am absolutely delighted to be here.

"I cannot wait to get started and am looking forward to putting on a show for our supporters.

“It is every young kid’s dream to score at Wembley, and it has been the best weekend of my life, and I want to come here and do a similar job.

“I am a striker and like to try and get myself in the right positions, but will run all day long and chase everything down. I will give everything for the shirt. 

“I cannot wait to work with the gaffer.

"As a fellow striker, the first thing he said to me was that I remind him a little bit of himself, which is a huge compliment and filled me with confidence.

“We want to get promoted and it is my job to give all I can every step of the way to help us achieve that.”

City boss Hughes believes that Harratt has already shown the big-game mentality that he wants to see from his new-look team.

“Kian is an exciting young player who we have been monitoring for some time," he said. "We are pleased to be welcoming him to the club, and are looking forward to working with him.

“At such a young age, he has already proven his ability to score goals at this level and perform on the biggest stage of all, after contributing massively towards Port Vale’s promotion to League One. 

“His movement and intelligence makes him a tricky striker to play against, as well as his physical presence and willingness to battle against defenders. 

“I would like to thank our friends at Huddersfield Town for their hard work and co-operation in making this deal - which further strengthens the relationship between the two clubs - happen.

“Kian has a big personality and a real drive to succeed, so we are looking forward to seeing how he fares at Valley Parade.”

Harratt started seven games with Vale and scored five goals.
