With six games left to play in 2020/21, Huddersfield Town still don't know what division they're going to be playing in next term.

The Terriers are caught up in the relegation battle but will be hoping that they can do enough to ensure they don't drop down to League One for the first time in nearly a decade.

Karlan Grant's absence has been a key obstacle for Carlos Corberan this term, particularly as Josh Koroma picked up an injury just when he was starting to look like the man to fill the void left by the West Bromwich Albion forward.

The forward line will need attention this summer, there's no doubt about that, and the Terriers need only look to their recent history to find just the sort of strikers they should be signing.

Huddersfield have had some brilliant goalscorers over the past 21 years and we've scoured the records to compile our list of the best.

We've ranked their top 10 best strikers since the year 2000 – agree?

We kick start our list by taking you back nearly 20 years to when Huddersfield were still a League One side.

Luke Beckett's first spell with the Terriers saw him grab six goals in seven games while on loan from Sheffield United and he continued to impress when he joined the club permanently a few years later.

Not the most technically talented forward on this list but he produced for the Yorkshire club.

Beckett was Huddersfield's top scorer in both his full seasons with the Terriers and notched up 31 goals in total.

He left to join Gainsborough Trinity in 2008 and hung up his boots four years later.

The physical forward features – rather fittingly – at number nine on our list.

Ever a danger inside the opposition box, Lee Novak scored 34 goals in his four years with Huddersfield after joining from Gateshead in 2009.

Had it not been for injuries, Novak's numbers would surely be more impressive but that's not to say he wasn't a very useful forward during his time with the Terriers.

The 32-year-old had the nack of so often being in the right place at the right time to convert from short range but that's not to say he didn't score some beautiful goals as well!

A proper EFL journeyman, Jon Stead started his career at Huddersfield having been born in the town and come through the club's academy system.

The energetic forward's place on this list was cemented by his red hot form in the first half of the 2003/04 campaign.

Despite leaving the club in January, Stead was Huddersfield's top scorer that season – firing in 18 goals in all competitions.

His second spell at the club was less eventful, seeing him spend the majority of it out on loan.

Even so, those fans that were around in the early 2000s will look back on Stead fondly.

Things haven't worked out for him at West Bromwich Albion just yet but Karlan Grant proved his quality during his time with the Terriers.

Having joined from Charlton Athletic in January 2019, helping Huddersfield stay up in his first six months with the club was too much to ask but his part in keeping them out of League One last term cannot be underestimated.

Managers changed and the team's form went up and down but Grant just kept on scoring in 2019/20.

23 goals in 57 games represents a very impressive return for the striker's year and a half at the John Smith's Stadium.

Elias Kachunga being at number six on this list may cause some controversy and supporters may well feel it's a little too high.

But the fact that he was the Terriers' top goalscorer during that magical, promotion-winning campaign in 2016/17 means he is more than deserving of it in our eyes.

Not always the most clinical finisher but on his day, Kachunga's dynamism made him a dangerous forward.

The 28-year-old doesn't have the best goal-to-game ratio but he played a key role in helping Huddersfield shock many and make it to the Premier League.

Replacing Jordan Rhodes was never going to be an easy task but James Vaughan's efforts in Huddersfield's first two seasons back in the Championship deserve recognition.

A powerful forward that certainly doesn't shy away from the physical side of the game (something that can sometimes get him in trouble), Vaughan's goals were vital in helping the Terriers establish themselves in the second tier after their promotion in 2011/12.

In all, the 32-year-old scored 33 times in a little less than 100 appearances for Huddersfield, which represents an impressive haul given where the club were during his tenure.

He joined first on loan from Norwich City before signing permanently after proving his quality.

Few players have a more impressive goal return for the Terriers than Nahki Wells.

When the Bermuda international is on song, he is a lethal finisher and someone that is always picking up dangerous positions.

That's reflected in his 49 goals and 13 assists in 153 appearances for the Yorkshire club.

Huddersfield's decision to raid Bradford City for him in 2014 proved a very smart one, not least because they then sold him on for a profit to Burnley three years later.

You feel were Bristol City to look to move him on this summer there would be plenty of Terriers fans keen to have him back.

Now we enter the business end of this list, the top three.

Pawel Abbott was always going to feature high and he comes in at number three, having proven a masterstroke of a signing.

The York-born Polish striker originally signed on loan from Preston North End as a replacement for Jon Stead and quickly proved his worth.

Abbott scored 26 times in his first season for the club and helped the Terriers reach the League One play-offs by firing in 12 more the following season while playing more of a bit-part role.

The 38-year-old likely remains well thought of at the John Smith's Stadium, despite leaving to join Swansea City in 2007.

In terms of effort, determination, and commitment, few players have given more than Andy Booth for Huddersfield.

Born in the town, Booth came through the club's academy and made nearly 400 appearances across 12 years in two different spells – featuring in all three EFL divisions.

It's his second spell, between 2001 and 2009, that we're interested in and that saw him score 85 times for his beloved Terriers.

Dominant in the air and not bad with his feet either, Booth was a talismanic figure for Huddersfield and was integral in getting them out of the fourth tier and back into League One in the 2000s.

It takes someone rather special to unseat Andy Booth but Jordan Rhodes' time with the Terriers was just that, special.

Having struggled to impress while at Ipswich Town, Rhodes arrived at Huddersfield a fresh-faced striker in 2009 and made an explosive start by scoring six goals in his first six games.

A prolific goalscorer and lethal finisher, the 31-year-old was everything you'd look for in an EFL striker and his final full season with the Terriers was nothing short of remarkable.

Rhodes left in 2012 but not before firing Huddersfield up to the Championship by scoring 39 goals in the 2011/12 campaign.
