The centre-back made over 200 Premier League appearances during his spell at Elland Road and has spent the past 12 years working as the EFL's head of youth development
Huddersfield Town have appointed former Leeds United centre-back David Wetherall to a 'vital' backroom position following his departure from the EFL. The 52 year old made over 200 appearances for the Whites from 1991 to 1999 before going on to play over 300 times for Bradford City.
However, new owner Kevin Nagle announced after taking complete control of the club that he intended to re-establish a more well-rounded academy setup, and Town have remained true to that, announcing last month that they had applied to the EFL to be upgraded to category three status. “Clearly a lot of work will go into the upgrade and David will provide vital specialist resource in this area. He is already working in lockstep with Jon Worthington, which has been made very easy again through their strong pre-existing relationship. His arrival will allow our academy staff to focus on their vital day-to-day work in developing our talented young players.
“Our official application to move to category three has now been lodged with the football governing bodies. As we embark upon the next steps of the process, we will endeavour to keep our supporters right up to date.”
