JUST READ: New Huddersfield Town boss Michael Duff targets 3 “HOT” talent from Barnsley

Huddersfield Town have appointed Michael Duff as their new manager as they aim to bounce back from their relegation to League One. The club, which was demoted from the Championship along with Rotherham United and Birmingham City, is determined to secure an immediate return to the second tier. Huddersfield parted ways with their previous manager, Andre Breitenreiter, and have now quickly found his replacement, Duff, as they prepare for the upcoming season in League One.

At the age of 46, Michael Duff, who had a playing career at Burnley and Cheltenham Town, began his managerial journey with Cheltenham Town. He has also managed Barnsley and most recently Swansea City, and he is now eager to embrace the fresh opportunity at the John Smith’s Stadium. Last year, he guided Barnsley to the League One playoff final, where they were defeated by Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley. Looking ahead, here are three players he may consider enticing from Oakwell this summer to strengthen the squad he has just taken charge of…

Devante Cole

The player in question is out of contract at the end of June and has not yet agreed to an extension, putting him on course to become a free agent. He is a proven goal scorer in League One, having netted 34 times over the previous two seasons at that level.As a graduate of Manchester City’s academy, he could be a worthwhile free transfer target for Huddersfield Town. Duff was able to get the best out of him during their one year working together at Barnsley.

Herbie Kane

The midfielder’s future at Barnsley is in question as his contract is set to expire in a few weeks. Reports suggest that he has been associated with Championship newcomers Derby County, who earned promotion under former Rotherham United manager Paul Warne, according to journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon platform.At 25 years old, Kane moved to his current team in 2020 from Liverpool after loan stints at Doncaster Rovers and Hull City. Since then, he has featured in 123 matches across all competitions, finding the net 14 times, with 10 of those goals coming in the most recent season.

Jordan Williams

Finally, defender Williams is set to be on the market this summer unless there are developments in his current status. Known for his steady performances at Barnsley in recent seasons, he is a player familiar to Duff.Having progressed through the youth system at Huddersfield Town and making a single first-team appearance before departing in 2018, the former England youth international possesses in-depth knowledge of the Terriers. Acquiring him would be a smart move given his experience and understanding of the club.
