Duhaney began his career at Manchester City before signing for Huddersfield Town in 2019, and spent time on loan at Boston United. He has represented England at under-20 youth international level.

Club career

Duhaney is from Fallowfield in Manchester,[3] and joined the Manchester City academy at the age of five.[4] He played regularly for the side that reached the 2017 FA Youth Cup Final, as well as featuring consistently in the UEFA Youth League and Premier League 2 for City’s Under-23 side.[3] He made three appearances for the club's under-21 side in the EFL Trophy during the 2017–18 season.[5]

On 17 August 2018, he joined Premier League club Huddersfield Town on a free transfer, agreeing a deal until June 2020.[3] Due to the suspension of regular right-back Tommy Smith, Duhaney made his senior début on 26 February 2019, in a home Premier League victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[4][6] He was substituted at half-time due to potential injury problems, and his performance in the game was praised by manager Jan Siewert.[4] Due to injury, Duhaney did not appear for the remainder of the season.

He joined National League North side Boston United on loan in October 2019,[7][8] but was recalled in December 2019, after playing seven matches.[9][10]

Duhaney made six first-team appearances for Huddersfield Town in 2019, including four starts.[11] Huddersfield triggered a one-year contract extension for Duhaney at the end of the 2019–20 season.[12]

International career

Duhaney appeared on the bench for England Under-18s once, and made two appearances for the under-20 side while with Manchester City, playing in the 2017–18 Under 20 Elite League.[3][13][14]
