Huddersfield Town are in talks with Wolverhampton Wanderers about a loan deal for Joe Hodge, according to reports.

The 21-year-old, a product of Manchester City’s academy, has been on the books of Wolves since 2021. He ended last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers but was afforded just eight appearances for the club.

Football Insider have claimed he could be heading out on loan again, with Huddersfield said to be in talks about taking the midfielder to the John Smith’s Stadium.

Hodge would arguably be a coup for the Terriers, considering he is a highly-rated prospect and the Republic of Ireland under-21s captain. However, a first-team breakthrough at Molineux does not appear imminent.
