Leigh Bromby is the new Academy manager, having led the Academy in recent months, whilst Mark Hudson has been appointed to the role of Under-23 coach.

Bromby, 37, joined the Town Academy in the summer of 2014 as an Under-18 coach, eventually stepping up to lead that age group.

A former Premier League footballer with Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United, Bromby, who also played for Leeds, will be responsible for leading Academy strategy in the new-look setup that focuses solely on the Under-23 and Under-18 groups.

Former Town captain Hudson, 35, has worked with the Under-23s and Under-18s during the season alongside his regular role with head coach David Wagner and the first-team squad and will take up a full-time post with the dDevelopment squad under Bromby’s leadership.

Hudson made well over 100 appearances for the Terriers, with 26 coming in the successful 2016-17 promotion campaign.

He made the step into coaching during the summer of 2017 and is studying for his UEFA A Licence, which he hopes to complete this season.
