HUDDERSFIELD TOWN'S Terence Kongolo insists he is happy to play in whatever position he is needed by newly-appointed manager Danny Cowley.

The former Feyenoord and Monaco player is seen as a left-back and a centre-back by Cowley, who was appointed as Huddersfield manager just under two weeks ago.

And the 25-year-old is happy to be deployed in either position by the former Lincoln City chief.

"He [Cowley] told me he needs me in two positions," said Kongolo.

"And I said where the coach needs me, I will be there, I will give everything.

"But we have to focus on the next game now."

Kongolo feels he has been adapting well to Cowley's methods, adding: "The training has been very technical, we know how we have to play.

"We spent a lot of time in meetings but it is going well.

"Everyone understands the way we need to play and I trust his process."

Kongolo is experiencing his first taste of the Championship after joining the Terriers during their two-year stay in the top flight.

The Netherlands international played 45 times in the Premier League and feels the Championship offers a more "direct" style.

He said: "In the Premier League you play against teams who play more football.

"Here it is more direct and we have played a few games so we know how it is.

"But in the Championship you have to give everything.

"We have not had a great start so we need to stick together and try to win every game, because we have a lot of quality in the team."

Huddersfield travel to unbeaten West Bromwich Albion tomorrow afternoon, aiming to end their near seven-month wait for a competitive win.

The Terriers last victory came in a 1-0 success over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of February.

Meanwhile, Town's last away triumph was in November 2018 when they won 2-0 against Wolves at Molineux.

"Every week is a big test," insisted Kongolo.

"We go to West Brom to win the game because I trust the squad, I trust the quality in the team.

"Every week I want to win. This season we haven't had a great start but I believe that we can start to win more games."
