Five players who have excelled with their promoted sides

Tom Huddlestone – Hull City

As Harry Redknapp will tell you in great detail, Tom Huddlestone is a player that has always had an abundance of potential. Getting it out of him is a different matter completely. Because of where the England midfielder prefers to play on the pitch, a manager has to have the confidence in Huddlestone to build a team around him.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has shown that confidence and as a result is starting to bring the best out of the 26-year-old. Huddlestone brings many different attributes to The Tigers’ game as a whole. How well he can push forward and create chances is a major example. Huddlestone has created nine chances in his seven Premier League games to-date, with one of them turning into an assist.

The former-Tottenham midfielder also has a 77% passing accuracy rate, this shows that Huddlestone has the quality all centre-midfielders must have if they’re to succeed at a high level – an ability to pass the ball around the pitch. As well as the England-man’s ability going forward, he’s also shown that he is more than capable at helping out his defense. Huddlestone has made five defensive actions including 12 interceptions and 18 clearances. An all-round, box-to-box midfielder whose potential is finally unravelling.
