Six free agent strikers released by Championship clubs - including former Huddersfield Town, Middlesbrough, Burnley and Preston players

As the Championship season gets back underway this weekend, a handful of forwards released by second-tier clubs remain free agents.

One player available on a free transfer who will be familiar to football fans in Yorkshire is Fraizer Campbell after he left Huddersfield Town upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season. He made 92 appearances for the Terriers after joining his hometown club in 2019.

He scored 10 goals during his time in West Yorkshire and has had stints at Hull City, Sunderland and Cardiff City after coming through the academy at Manchester United. He featured in a Liverpool v Man United’s legends game earlier this campaign.
