Brown looks set to be in demand in January

- By STEVEN CHICKEN @examinerHT­AFC

HUDDERSFIE­LD Town midfielder Reece Brown has the ability and track record to attract plenty of potential suitors when the January transfer window opens.

Having only just been signed from League Two side Forest Green Rovers in the summer, the midfielder is one of several players deemed surplus to requiremen­ts by manager Danny Cowley.

He has failed to break into the firstteam squad at Town bar being an unused substitute against QPR and a start in the defeat to Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup, and last week Cowley said of Brown, Isaac Mbenza and Terence Kongolo: “They are training with a view to potentiall­y being able to be in a position where we can help them find another club.”

Cowley had indicated earlier in the season the club were working with Brown to improve the physical side of his game to get him ready for Championsh­ip football - and it would now appear Cowley has little hope that project will yield worthwhile results. For one reason or another, it would appear that his move back to the Championsh­ip has come too soon for him.

For all that, there is likely to be more interest in Brown than several of the other players Town would be open to off-loading.

Having hampered his own developmen­t with self-confessed disciplina­ry issues at Birmingham City after emerging as a talented teenager, Brown, now 23, underwent something of a career rehabilita­tion at Forest Green, and last season racked up 11 goals and 15 assists across his 45 regular league appearance­s.
