Huddersfield Scout Imp

21st December 2005

League One club Huddersfield Town are the latest to be linked with Lincoln City's Northern Ireland international defender Gareth McAuley.

Reports in Huddersfield state that their scouts were present to watch Lincoln City play Macclesfield earlier this month. The player they were watching was McAuley, who seems destined to leave Sincil Bank in January.

McAuley's contract expires at the end of the season, and Imps' boss Keith Alexander has publicly stated that McAuley's advisors are keen to play a wait and see tactic regarding contract talks. Alexander's response to this is to state that Lincoln will try and sell McAuley in January, if it seems likely that that he will reject a new contract.

Should Huddersfield decide to sign McAuley, then he will link up with former Imps' striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher, who joined Huddersfield in June.
