Portsmouth have signed forward Josh Koroma on loan from Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old joined the Terriers in 2019 shortly before current Pompey manager Danny Cowley took the helm at the club.
He has scored 13 goals in 72 appearances for the Championship side since.
Koroma began his career with Leyton Orient and also spent time on loan with Rotherham United.
'It's been a good transfer window at Fratton Park'

It was a nervy deadline day for Portsmouth - while there was confidence by the afternoon that they could land Koroma, it wasn't until nearly 22:00 BST that they got the green light that the deal could definitely happen.
Danny Cowley was desperate to add another attacking option and Koroma is a player he knows well from his time as manager at Huddersfield.
It's believed the 23-year-old had his heart set on a move to Pompey, with Championship clubs Coventry City and Rotherham United also interested in his signature.
While Portsmouth don't have the same squad depth as some of their League One promotion rivals there's no doubt it's been a good transfer window at Fratton Park, and the team looks significantly stronger than last season.
