Helik left an emotional parting message for the Terriers on his Instagram page after his departure was confirmed, with the Polish centre-back moving back to the Championship.

Helik spent two-and-a-half years with Huddersfield, having signed from Barnsley in 2022 and made 100 appearances, scoring 13 goals and assisting twice.

The Polish international departed for Championship side Oxford but was full of praise for the club and its supporters as he took to social media to post his goodbye.

He said: "100 appearances for over 2,5 seasons for Huddersfield is a big honor for me. I’ve been here through really tough times and through beautiful moments but I always felt an amazing support from you Terriers.

"I’ve met amazing people in the club and all around the city. It’s time for another challenge for me so I would like to wish you all the very best. Thank you for everything Town. Big Mich."

Rudoni spent almost two years at Hudderfield after signing from AFC Wimbledon. The central-midfielder made 84 appearances for the club, scoring seven and assisting eight.
