Mooy amazed by Huddersfield's 'fairytale' year

The Terriers finished 19th in England's second tier last season but with the Aussie playmaker on board secured promotion in 2016-17

Socceroos midfielder Aaron Mooy has admitted he "definitely" surpassed his own expectations at Huddersfield Town in winning numerous awards as they were promoted to the Premier League.

Mooy is typically quietly spoken and unflappable in interviews but even he appeared taken aback by Huddersfield's achievement last week, labelling their penalty shootout win over Reading in the Championship playoff final as a "fairytale".

The victory saw Huddersfield to return to England's top flight for the first time since 1971-72.
