Football League World take a look at seven free agents Huddersfield Town may have to consider this summer, given their financial position.
Despite looking likely to be relegated a few months ago, Huddersfield Town will be a Championship club once again for the 2023/24 season thanks to the heroics of Neil Warnock.
Once again, Warnock completed the great escape, leading Town to safety with a game to spare in the Championship despite picking the side up joint-bottom of the division with 15 games of the season still remaining.
Huddersfield lost just one of the final 10 fixtures of the campaign under Warnock’s stewardship, seeing off the likes of Millwall, Middlesbrough, Watford, and Sheffield United on their way to securing their place in the second tier for another season.
Huddersfield Town retained list
Huddersfield finished 18th in the division, and are now heading for a busy summer, with multiple departures already confirmed by the club in the last week.
Josh Ruffels, Tomas Vaclik, Florian Kamberi, and Rolando Aarons have all been released, as well as four players who had spent the season out on loan: Ryan Schofield, Matty Daly, Romoney Crichlow, and Danny Grant.
Six loanees have also returned to their parent clubs: Joseph Hungbo, Matthew Lowton, Martyn Waghorn, Tino Anjorin, Anthony Knockaert, and Jordan Smith.
Which free agents could Huddersfield target?
Huddersfield are a club without major resources to attract the very best the Championship can offer, but will have to replace a large chunk of these players during the summer window.
Here, we look at seven other soon-to-be free agents that Huddersfield could target given their financial position.
Sam Byram
Byram is familiar in West Yorkshire, having played for Leeds United from 2012-2016, and has recently been released by Norwich City.
He has lost his way due to injury in recent seasons, but has good pedigree at Championship level and could provide good competition to Ollie Turton, who is the club’s only specialist right-back.
Maxime Colin
Another right-back, Colin’s pedigree and quality at this level is undisputed, and he would represent a big improvement on Turton, even though he is a little older.
He’s been one of the most consistent and steady full-backs at this level for the last half decade, and would be a good addition for Town should they be able to fend off other interest, which there will undoubtedly be. He has made over 300 appearances in the second tier.
