New Yeovil Town signing Jon Worthington joined the Glovers after being 'pestered' into the move by Danny Schofield.

Huddersfield club captain Worthington, 25, has signed for Yeovil on a month's loan and will go straight into the team for today's game at Leyton Orient.

The two midfielders enjoyed six years together at the Galpharm Stadium before Schofield moved south last summer.

Worthington said: "It's been a frustrating time for me in the last few weeks as the new manager (Lee Clark) has obviously not seen me in his plans.

"That's how things are in football, but it's the first time I have been in this situation in my whole career.

"At my age I need to be playing games at first-team level. A couple of things cropped up but I spoke to (Yeovil boss) Russell Slade and to Danny Schofield, who is enjoying himself down there, and he pestered me to join them so I am going to play some football.

"It's for a month so they can have a look at me and I can have a look at them and take it from there.

"I don't know whether it will lead to anything or not but I'm out of contract in the summer and I need to be playing games and staying fresh."

Slade made his move after losing four central midfielders to injury.

He said: "The biggest difference between him and Darren Way is about an inch and a half! He is that sort of player. He is their club captain, very experienced and a good age at 25."

Worthington, who will be at Yeovil until March 3, did not train with his new team-mates yesterday but met them in London last night.

Slade did not sign trialist striker Derek Asamoah ahead of the deadline for the weekend, although he could still tie up a move for the former Northampton man next week.

It may be the end of February before Slade has his squad fully fit so he is reluctant to loan out any of his younger players before then.

"When things settle down some of my younger players are going to need games," he added.
