Huddersfield must avoid this 25-year-old National League star if they are serious about PL football
Why Huddersfield Town should avoid signing Jamie Reid in January
According to Football League World (h/t Examiner Live), Huddersfield Town have been linked with a move for Jamie Reid, who currently plies his trade with Torquay United in the National League.

Jamie Reid has been in blistering form at Plainmoor this term, racking up a staggering 15 goals in 23 league and cup appearances to propel Torquay United to 6th in the Conference Premier standings.
Gary Johnson’s side are currently looking to regain their Football League status and the 25-year-old remains central to their plans of mounting a challenge for promotion.
Born in Torquay, Reid started his footballing education at Exeter City and spent eight years in the academy before making his senior professional bow against Oxford United in December 2012.
However, he struggled to establish himself as a regular fixture at his boyhood club and spent time on loan at non-league clubs Dorchester Town, Truro City and Torquay United, joining the latter permanently in October 2017.
The former Northern Irish U-21 international only managed 5 goals in all competitions for the Gulls during the 2017-18 campaign but he really set the stage on fire with a tally of 29 goals last term and looks well on course for another prolific season after gobbling up 15 goals in 23 games so far.
To put things into perspective, Jamie Reid has proven his mettle as a bonafide goalscorer at Torquay United in the National League but League Two is the highest level that he has played so far, and Huddersfield’s interest in the non-league star doesn’t strike the right chords.
At 25, Reid doesn’t really fall within the bracket of a burgeoning young talent or a prodigy who can be expected to achieve great heights in the years to come.
The Northern Irishman had a tough time establishing himself at Exeter City in the fourth-tier and while he has fired on all cylinders in the National League, one cannot help but wonder whether the Championship would be a step too far for him.
Verdict
Danny Cowley has an excellent knowledge of the non-league market, having guided Lincoln City from the obscurity of the fifth-tier to promotion glory in League Two, but one does get the feeling that Huddersfield need to scour the market for better players if they are really serious about re-establishing themselves as a Premier League club.
That’s not to say he is a bad player. Notwithstanding the fact that the Terriers are certainly in need of attacking reinforcements moving forward, Reid might find it difficult to make a direct transition from the fifth-tier to the second-tier without an intermediate step.
With top-scorer Karlan Grant attracting interest from the Premier League (h/t Examiner Live) and the likes of Steve Mounie, Elias Kachunga, Fraizer Campbell, Isaac Mbenza, Adama Diakhaby and several others struggling to rack up the goals, the Terriers need to look for some immediate game-changers in January to continue their surge up the table following a horrible start to the season.
The Terriers signed Josh Koroma as a hot young prospect in the summer following his raging success in the Conference Premier but given that the youngster has struggled to make much of an impact on the first-team, Huddersfield Town would be better off avoiding a move for Jamie Reid in January.

Experienced heads: welcoming the return of three veteran managers to English football
The first three months of 2023 saw Mick McCarthy, Neil Warnock, and, most recently, Roy Hodgson be re-instated in the managerial world, with the latter two coming out of retirement for their respective posts.
With that in mind, here is a closer look at three men who remain the oldest managers in English football.
Roy Hodgson – Crystal Palace (appointed 21 March)
Roy Hodgson returned to Crystal Palace in March, nearly two years after his last tenure in south London. It was the second time Hodgson had come out of retirement to take on a new role, after failing to keep Watford up in the 2021-22 campaign.
Hodgson is the most travelled manager on this list, with a career going back to 1976 and covering eight different countries.
His spell as Three Lions boss wasn’t filled with success and he will always be associated with the infamous defeat to Iceland, as covered by the BBC at the time, but Hodgson will be fondly remembered around some English football circles for reaching the Europa League final with Fulham in 2009-10, before defeat to Atletico Madrid.
He is yet to lead a team out in the Champions League, though, which is Europe’s elite competition and has become so famous it features on various platforms or has been imitated due to its popularity.
These include video games such as FIFA and online slots, where sites such as Mr Q provides offers such as free spins to new users as well as a range of titles to attract a wide demographic. The Champions League is only likely to continue growing across different entertainment platforms as it has cemented itself as the premier competition in domestic football.
Far from Europe, meanwhile, Hodgson now faces a tough battle with Palace to try and avoid a second successive relegation from the Premier League this term.
Roy Hodgson has been appointed Crystal Palace manager until the end of the season.

Paddy McCarthy will take the role as his assistant manager, and Ray Lewington returns as first-team coach.
Dean Kiely remains in his position as goalkeeping coach.
Welcome back, Roy.#CPFC
Neil Warnock – Huddersfield Town (appointed 13 February)
Neil Warnock had enjoyed less than a year out of football and had even set up a new podcast when he was dragged back into the action in February of this year.
The veteran Englishman returned to Huddersfield Town where he had won promotion in his spell between 1993 and 1995, to oversee their own fight for survival in the Championship in 2022-23, as reported by The Independent. Unlike Hodgson, Warnock has remained in England his entire career, which spans over 40 years.
Starting in the lower leagues, Warnock made his way through Plymouth, Oldham and Bury after his first stint at Huddersfield, before taking Sheffield United to the Premier League in his longest tenure to date, spanning eight years.
Alongside roles at Middlesbrough, Cardiff and Rotherham, arguably Warnock’s greatest achievement was winning the Championship with QPR back in 2010/11.
Mick McCarthy – Blackpool (appointed 19 January)
Born in Barnsley but going on to represent – and later manage – Ireland at the international level, Mick McCarthy became English football’s third-oldest manager after he was made Blackpool boss at the turn of the year. His career started at Millwall in 1992 but he soon found his calling in international management.
McCarthy took charge of Ireland in 1996 and remained for six years, famously taking the Boys in Green to only their third World Cup ever in 2002 and getting them to the last-16 before losing on penalties to Spain.
After long spells in charge of Sunderland, Wolves and Ipswich, McCarthy returned for a less successful spell as Ireland manager, before trying his luck in Cyprus with APOEL Nicosia. Now, his Blackpool side faces a head-to-head battle with Warnock’s Huddersfield to avoid the drop in the Championship.
Blackpool Football Club is delighted to announce Mick McCarthy as our new Head Coach.

The development of the modern game has seen a rebirth of football tactics and, with it, a new and exciting brand of up-and-coming football minds.
But one cannot put a price on experience as well as pure grit and determination, which has seen the return of some of football’s most storied tacticians. While they may represent a quick fix, the importance and influence of such managers cannot be downplayed.

Fulham would be quite wise to stay away from this 23-year-old Huddersfield outcast
Why Fulham should avoid signing Huddersfield winger Isaac Mbenza
According to French publication L’Equipe (h/t The Bournemouth Echo), Fulham are battling Bournemouth to sign Huddersfield Town winger Isaac Mbenza.
Isaac Mbenza, 23, joined Huddersfield Town on loan from Montpellier last season, featuring 22 times in the Yorkshire club’s failed attempt at avoiding relegation from the Premier League. He made his move to the Terriers permanent last summer.
The winger has made six appearances for Huddersfield Town this season but has featured just twice since Danny Cowley was appointed in September. His most recent outing came in a Championship win at Stoke City in October.
As far as Fulham are concerned, they are in good form, having won their three of their last five games in all competitions. The Cottagers saw off Middlesbrough 1-0 at Craven Cottage and drew 0-0 against Charlton before losing 4-0 to Man City in the FA Cup.
Michael Hector, Terrence Kongolo and Jordan Archer have all already arrived and with less than a week left for the January transfer window to slam shut, Scott Parker still has a chance to get in players. However, Fulham’s interest in Isaac Mbenza is baffling, to say the least.
Mbenza has never really adapted to the demands of English football since arriving from Ligue 1 in 2018. He was a proven goalscorer in France with Montpellier and came to England with the promise of having a similar impact.
But a move to Huddersfield hasn’t gone well for him. The winger has largely been an outcast at the John Smith’s Stadium, managing only a goal in 30 appearances.
Given that this is a player who has struggled to live up to the expectations at Huddersfield, Fulham would be better off not signing him. The Cottagers will miss Aleksandar Mitrovic for a handful of games due to an ankle injury he sustained against Hull City but Parker does have other options in the forward department to replace the Serb.

- Why Flynn Downes could be a good long-term signing for Fulham
In Bobby Reid, Aboubakar Kamara, Ivan Cavaleiro and Anthony Knockaert, Fulham have enough quality and competition in their attack for the rest of the campaign.
Verdict
A move away from Huddersfield is exactly what Mbenza needs in order to revitalise his faltering career. Nevertheless, Fulham must stay away from the winger.
