Sacramento Republic FC owner Kevin Nagle ready to buy English soccer team

Huddersfield Town confirmed Tuesday that Sacramento Republic FC owner Kevin Nagle has entered into an agreement to buy the English Football League second-tier team.

Nagle said in a statement that he was still committed to Republic FC.

“As I pursue this new endeavor and build new connections to elite levels of football, I remain committed to Sacramento Republic FC’s continued success and growth, our plan to build a stadium and community asset in downtown Sacramento, and bright future as a topflight club,” he said.

Huddersfield Town formed in 1908. The club won the FA Cup once, in 1922. More recently, the team earned promotion to the Premier League in 2017.

Neither club disclosed a price.

Among the famous supporters of the Terriers is actor Sir Patrick Stewart, according to Football League World.
