Blackburn sign Huddersfield hot-shot

Last updated : 02 February 2004 By Luke Thornhill
Stead, with 16 goals one ahead of Iron striker Steve MacLean at the top of the Third Division's goalscoring charts, signed a four-and-a-half year deal less than an hour before the end of the January transfer window.

The Terriers rejected three bids earlier in the week, but accepted an improved fourth bid which could be worth over £1million.
