With so much uncertainty about Nahki Wells’ future at Huddersfield, Blake Welton from the examiner takes a look at the highs and lows of the Bermudian striker at the club.
In just under three years at the club Wells has scored 49 goals and contributed 15 assists - playing an important role in Town's historic rise from SkyBet Championship survivalists to Premier League new boys.
The day after his arrival at the John Smith's Stadium on 11.01.14 Wells came off the bench to score a 90th minute winner against Millwall FC.
25.10.2014 Wells scored his first double for Huddersfield as Chris Powell's men fought back from 2-0 down at Ipswich Town to salvage a point late on.
In a bizarre game on 21.03.2015 at the John Smith's Stadium that also saw the referee send the wrong Fulham player off only to then bring him back on, Wells missed not one but two penalties.
It was the striker's first game back after nearly a month out through injury.
During the 2015/16 season Wells bagged 18 goals, finishing the campaign as Town's top scorer and leading the club to Championship survival.
With Town 1-0 down to Sheffield Wednesday on 17.05.2017 in the SkyBet Championship Play-Off semi final second leg, Wells burst into the six yard box.
Determined to get on the end of a Collin Quaner pass, the forward forced an under pressure Tom Lees to turn the ball in his own net.
29.05.2017 Huddersfield Town were 3-1 down in the Championship Play-Off final penalty shoot out when Nahki Wells stepped up.
If he missed, Liam Moore would then have the opportunity to send Reading into the Premier League. Wells scored, Moore missed and the rest as they say is history!
