Huddersfield Town winger Connor Mahoney enjoying loan spell with Gillingham

Connor Mahoney’s happy to wait until the summer to sort out his next move while Gillingham are embroiled in a fight to claim a play-off place.

Mahoney is on loan from Championship side Huddersfield Town but admits there’s been no contact with his parent club since he decided to head to Gillingham to enjoy his football again.

Mahoney moved to Huddersfield in the summer of 2022 on a two-year deal - with the Yorkshire side having an option of another season - but was limited to just nine substitute appearances in the Championship last season. He was keen to get out on loan to get games after three years at Millwall before that where he came off the bench more times than he started.

Huddersfield were managed by Neil Warnock when Mahoney moved to the Gills and Darren Moore took charge before being sacked after just four months. German Andre Breitenreiter took charge of the Terriers in mid-February with the task of saving them from relegation.

Mahoney has seen more regular football at Gillingham than he’s experienced before and a recent switch to a 4-2-3-1 system allows him to play in his preferred position.

Speaking before the weekend, where he hit the winner against Morecambe, he said: “I am at Huddersfield at the moment but out of contract next season so free to do what I want.

“It is something I will probably address in the summer, after the season is finished, spend some time with my family and go from there but I have really enjoyed it here and for me, at the end of the day playing football is the main thing.

“The next step for me would be to continue doing that, wherever that may be.

“I haven’t spoken to them (Huddersfield) since I have been here but they have been great, I just said I wanted to go and play football,
