Yorath leaves Terriers

Huddersfield Town's assistant manager Terry Yorath has left the club by mutual consent.
The 56-year-old had spent the last three years with the Terriers, after enjoying a pervious spell with the club in the late 1990s, but reserve team coach John Dungworth has now been promoted to first-team coach.
Town boss Peter Jackson told the club's official website: "My sincere thanks, and those of everyone at the club, go to Terry for his contribution and we wish him every success in the future.
"Terry has been a valuable part of the success we've had in two spells at the club, firstly with the Great Escape and establishing us in what's now the Championship and, secondly, with our promotion to League One and our plans to take the club forward again.
"This agreement to part company has come about after a lot of thought on both sides. We've been aware for several weeks of certain rumours concerning the situation, but we've been waiting for Terry to determine his own plans and decide what he wanted to do.
"From my point of view, John Dungworth has stepped up to the mark well in Terry's recent absence from the club, and I think it's appropriate at this time to make the temporary change in my backroom staff a permanent one."
