Thailand's national soccer captain Kiatisak Senamuang will be joining English first division club Huddersfield Town at the weekend, the Bangkok Post reported Thursday.

The talented 26-year-old striker will be flying to England early on Saturday morning, officials from Huddersfield and his present club Rajpracha confirmed.

Hudderfield's public relations officer said earlier in Hong Kong that Kiatisak would hopefully play in the reserve team on December 1 against Preston North End.

"It depends on how he adapts to the frozen north," the officer said.

Nicknamed "Zico" after the former Brazilian star, Kiatisak was recommended to Huddersfield by Premiership club Middlesbrough who gave him a trial earlier this year.

Kiatisak said he was really looking forward to the challenge of playing for Huddersfield, adding that he was already brushing up on his English although he said the language barrier shouldn't be too much a problem as he knew most of the football terms already.

He is also planning to take a lot of different medicine to prepare for the cold weather in England.

As for the food, he said he knew it is going to be hard, but he is confident that he will get used to English food.

He stressed that he would be giving his very best in every performance.

Kiatisak is going to sign the contract on November 22. He would be paid 1,000 pound every week with extra money if he plays first team matches. (Xinhua)
