Huddersfield Town's Head of Footballing Operations Leigh Bromby has admitted that the club are excited to work with Connor Mahoney over the coming seasons.
As confirmed by the Terriers' official website, Mahoney has signed a two-year deal with the Championship outfit.
This agreement includes an option for the club to extend his stay at the John Smith's Stadium for another 12 months.
Mahoney has been on the lookout for a new club since Millwall's decision to release him earlier this year.
Certainly no stranger to life in the Championship, Mahoney has represented Millwall, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Barnsley at this level during his career.
In the previous campaign, the attacking midfielder missed a chunk of action due to injury.
Limited to just 11 appearances in all competitions, the 25-year-old will be determined to make a positive start to life at Huddersfield when the 2022/23 campaign gets underway.
Mahoney could potentially make his competitive debut for his new side when they face Burnley on July 29th.
Reacting to Mahoney's arrival, Bromby has suggested that the attacking midfielder will be able to provide competition for the likes of Sorba Thomas, Duane Holmes and Josh Koroma next season due to his versatility.
Speaking to the club's website, Bromby said: "Connor is a very interesting player that we’re excited to work with.
"He’s got very natural talent and his ability with both feet allows him to play through the middle or on either flank.
"That gives us important competition alongside the likes of Sorba Thomas, Duane Holmes and Josh Koroma among others.
"Connor also brings real ability at taking set-pieces, which was a fantastic source of goals for us last season.
"That further strengthens an area where Sorba already gives us great quality.
"His ability has seen him move around for some big fees already during his career, but his challenge now is to make Huddersfield Town his home and deliver consistently.
"Our staff will work very hard with him to give him every opportunity to do so."
The Verdict
Having shown glimpses of his ability during his spell with Millwall by providing 12 direct goal contributions in the 68 games that he played for the club, Mahoney will be keen to establish himself as a key member of Huddersfield's side later this year.
The attacking midfielder knows exactly what it takes to compete in the Championship as he has made 114 appearances at this level in his career and thus there is a chance that he could hit the ground running for his new side.
When you consider that Huddersfield head coach Carlos Corberan has managed to further the development of Thomas and Lewis O'Brien in the past two seasons, he will be confident in his ability to get the best out of Mahoney.
By adding some more fresh faces to their squad between now and the end of the transfer window, the Terriers could emerge as legitimate contenders for a top-two finish in the Championship.
