Huddersfield sporting director Bromby leaves club as part of 'refresh'

Huddersfield have announced Leigh Bromby has left his role as sporting director.

The 43-year-old led the football strategy at the Sky Bet Championship club for the past four years, having initially joined as an academy coach in 2014 before progressing to academy manager in 2018.

Head of goalkeeping Paul Clements has also departed John Smith’s Stadium as part of a “refresh” for the Terriers.

Huddersfield were in relegation danger for much of last season but went on to survive comfortably following the February appointment of manager Neil Warnock.

Terriers chief executive Jake Edwards told his club’s website: “On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Leigh for his achievements during his long association with Huddersfield Town.

“This change comes as we look towards a fresh start at the club and as we begin to build towards the start of the new season.”

Speaking about Clements, who joined Town in 2015, Edwards added: “Paul can depart with a lot of pride in what he’s achieved here.

“Much like the departure of Leigh Bromby, this change has been made in order to refresh our football department ahead of the new season.”
