Huddlestone interested in Stoke loan move

The pair worked together last season when Rowett was in charge of the 'Rams', and they could be re-united soon.

Huddlestone played almost 50 times for the club during the last campaign as the side reached the play-offs, but has failed to make an appearance since new manager Frank Lampard has taken over at the club.

The former Hull City midfielder believes that he might need a move away, as a result, to get enough minutes on the pitch, and it seems as though Rowett could give him that chance.

The 'Daily Mail' report that initial discussions between the two clubs have begun, and it seems a deal could be likely.
