Huddersfield Town have announced the appointment of former player Ian Bennett as the club's new academy goalkeeping coach.

Bennett, 42, ended his playing career earlier this summer after coming to the end of his contract, but the Terriers have retained his services as a coach.

"Coaching young footballers in an academy is a specialised job, but we know Ian's personality and style is one that will fit this role perfectly," Huddersfield chief executive Nigel Clibbens told the club website.

Bennett made 74 appearances for Huddersfield during a four-year spell after joining from Sheffield United in 2010.
