Cadamarteri is looking for his seventh club since leaving Everton in 2002

Huddersfield striker Danny Cadamarteri will leave Town this summer after rejecting a new deal from the Terriers and looks set to join Dundee United.

The 29-year-old turned down a one-year deal, with an option of a second season dependant on appearances.

Terriers boss Lee Clark told the club website: "We think that the contract offer we made to Danny was a fair one.

"He has exercised the option of talking to other clubs given his current deal is coming to an end."

Clark continued: "We wanted him to stay at Huddersfield Town and we made it clear to him and his agent that we wanted him to be a part of what we are doing here.

"In order for him to get the second year of his contract he would have needed to be involved in the first team for a certain number of games, but he was looking for the certainty of a longer deal."

I wish him every success - he is a good lad and he has done very well for us Huddersfield boss Lee Clark

Dundee United manager Craig Levein signed Cadamarteri during his time in charge at Leicester, which came after the player had served a six-month ban from the game after failing a drugs test.

The former Everton and England Under-21 forward came to Huddersfield when he was signed by Clark's predecessor Andy Ritchie in the summer of 2007.

The former Leeds and Bradford player started 37 games for the Terriers, scoring five goals.

"I wish him every success - he is a good lad and he has done very well for us," Clark said.

"We're disappointed because we wanted to keep him, but we have to move on and I will look to bring somebody else in."
