Huddersfield Town have offered a new deal to veteran midfielder Jonathan Hogg.

The 35-year-old has made 348 league appearances for the Terriers since joining from Watford in July 2013.

Japan international defender Yuta Nakayama, 27, and striker Jordan Rhodes, 34, are among eight players who have played for the first team to depart.

Former Scotland international Rhodes scored 97 goals in all competitions across two spells with Town, making him their sixth all-time highest scorer.

The West Yorkshire side were relegated from the Championship this season and appointed Michael Duff as their new manager on Monday.

“It’s an opportunity to reset. We want to rebuild it, to pull everything back together and create a winning environment," he told BBC Radio Leeds at his first news conference on Thursday.

Forward Brahima Diarra, 20, will leave after 45 appearances for the club, while Aaron Rowe, 23, and Connor Mahoney, 27, depart after spending the season on loan at Crewe and Gillingham respectively.

Loanees Delano Burgzorg, Tom Edwards and Alex Matos will return to their parent clubs.

The Terriers have also made a number of contracted players available for transfer, but have not confirmed who.
