What Huddersfield Town boss Neil Warnock had to say about Sorba Thomas's future + Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Tyreece Simpson, Kian Harratt and Lee Nicholls

The winger was loaned out to Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers in January following a difficult first half of the 22-23 campaign, but will return to Huddersfield in time for pre-season.

On whether Thomas has a future at Town, Warnock said: "I hope so. I saw him during one of the games last season and said: 'bloody hell, I wouldn't have let you go - you know that.' I tried to sign him the same day when he signed here (from Boreham Wood). He might need one of the Warnock talks!"

Meanwhile, the Town chief says he and his coaching team will be paying particular attention in the close season regarding the fitness of Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Tyreece Simpson and believes that the pair can play a full part for the club next term if their fitness gets to an optimum level.

Warnock commented: "I have got to get him (REG) fit now as he couldn't last an hour. The same with Tyreece. He is going to get fit as he has every attribute in his locker. But he has got to be able to run more than ten minutes.

"We have got to get these lads fit in pre-season. They are both very good players. REG can do a job in there (midfield), if he gets himself fit. It's a good challenge.

"I thought young Kian Harratt did ever so well. Nobody on the pitch would have scored that goal at Watford. Hopefully we'll have Yuta (Nakayama). I just smile at him when I see him as he's always in the gym and working.

“He's been working very hard as (Lee) Nicholls has. It's lovely to see people like that fit.

"With the kids, it feels like we have some nice signings and if we could just get the icing on the cake without going silly on the wage bill, we will have a competitive team."
