Terriers Striker Jordan Rhodes took his league goal tally to an astonishing 25 as he bagged five of Huddersfield six, to grab the attention of several Premier League clubs, who were apparently in attendance. Despite the interest, Clark has openly stated that he has the full backing of Owner Dean Hoyle and maintains his desire to keep Rhodes on board Huddersfield’s promotion push. Speaking after last Friday’s match Clark said, “He is absolutely flying, I am 100% confident that he won’t be going anywhere – I trust the Owner.”
Recent conversation between the Chairman and Rhodes suggest that the striker remains firmly committed to the Terriers. Clark continued, “He has told me that he has spoken to Jordan, and he has looked the chairman in the eye and said that he wants to finish off the season with Huddersfield Town, irrespective of what happens.”
Clark, a former Newcastle and Fulham midfielder, feels that Rhodes’ growing reputation bares comparison with some of the biggest names to ever play the game. Clark added, “He is destined to play at the very top level and reap the rewards that come with that. In terms of finishing he is up there with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.”Along with the Scottish international Rhodes, Clark has also commented on Huddersfield’s ability to develop players and move them on to bigger club’s. Clark continued, “In the future I am sure that I will feel privileged to have worked with him, just like I do at the moment when I see Anthony Pilkington scoring and creating goals for Norwich. Also, Lee Peltier is doing fantastic things at Leicester City.”
The anticipated departure of Rhodes is certainly one rumour that is set to escalate throughout the January transfer window. Clark’s obvious reluctance to sell his prized asset could be taken out of his hands as the biggest club’s swarm around the young prospect and prepare to do battle for his signature.
