It was a turbulent campaign for the Terriers last season which saw the sackings of both Danny Schofield and Mark Fotheringham, with Neil Warnock leading the club to safety after his appointment in February.

Warnock signed a one-year contract to stay on at the John Smith's Stadium this summer, but despite Town enjoying a decent start to the season, the club opted to part company with the 74-year-old in order to make a more long-term appointment.

Darren Moore has been named as Warnock's replacement, and he will be hoping to keep his side clear of any relegation trouble this time around.

Huddersfield had an average attendance of 19,109 last season, with Terriers fans turning out in their numbers as they looked to help their team to safety.
