Full Agreement Reached
Hull City’s James Furlong is poised to switch allegiances to AFC Wimbledon, with a loan deal now fully agreed upon. The 22-year-old defender is expected to leave Hull for a stint in southwest London, aiming to bolster Wimbledon’s backline in the upcoming League Two season.
Medical and Team Integration
Furlong is on the brink of completing his medical with Wimbledon, post which he will integrate with his new teammates. This move comes at a time when Hull City has seen a significant influx of funds from the sales of key players to Premier League clubs.
Wimbledon’s Promotion Ambitions
After a 10th place finish in the previous season, Wimbledon is looking to strengthen their squad with Furlong’s addition. The club has its sights set on climbing the league table and achieving promotion, with Furlong expected to play a pivotal role in their campaign.
From Brighton to Hull and Beyond
Furlong’s journey saw him join Brighton from Shamrock Rovers in 2019, although he made just one appearance for the Seagulls. His most noteworthy performances came during a loan spell at Motherwell, where he notched up 16 appearances and contributed three assists.
Hull City’s Development Plan for Furlong
Despite limited opportunities at Hull City, the Championship club believes that regular first-team football at Wimbledon will be instrumental in Furlong’s development. They are keen to see him gain more experience and make a significant impact.
Wimbledon’s End-of-Season Struggles
Wimbledon’s previous season was marred by a disappointing finish, with the team faltering in their last ten games. They will be looking to turn a new leaf with Furlong’s arrival, hoping to leave behind the struggles that saw them lose crucial points towards the end of the season.
