A win-win” – Carlton Palmer reacts as Huddersfield Town close in on Reading FC player
Reading’s Junior Hoilett is set to reunite with Neil Warnock at Huddersfield Town.
Pundit Carlton Palmer believes that Reading winger Junior Hoilett will be a shrewd signing for Huddersfield Town.
According to journalist Darren Witcoop, the Terriers are “confident” of making Hoilett their first summer signing in a move that would see him reunite with manager Neil Warnock after the pair worked together at Cardiff City.
Hoilett is out of contract at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this summer and while he has been offered a new deal by the Royals, he looks set to opt against extending his stay at the club and join Town, while he is also said to have interest from the MLS.
The 33-year-old, who joined Reading from Cardiff in August 2021, scored one goal in 35 appearances in all competitions last season, but he was unable to prevent his side’s relegation to League One.
Hoilett was Warnock’s first signing during his time in charge at the Cardiff City Stadium and he helped the Bluebirds to promotion to the Premier League in 2018 before featuring in their unsuccessful stint in the top flight the following season.
What did Carlton Palmer say?
Speaking exclusively to Football League World, Palmer says Hoilett will be a good addition for the Terriers and believes the Canada international will be keen to remain in the Championship.
