Huddersfield Town have quietly announced that Head of Football Operations David Moss has left his role at the club.

The Yorkshireman replaced Stuart Webber in the role in June after a seven-year stint at Celtic. Since then, he has overseen a jubilant atmosphere, sky-rocketing ambitions and unlikely success at the Terriers.

The 48-year-old was also the first to mention Steve Mounié to David Wagner, a risky record signing who has surely proven his £11.5 million worth already and is just one of a host of convincing additions acquired during a pre-season recruitment drive that Moss helped sculpt.

But Moss' premature exit from the John Smith's Stadium was announced today by what Huddersfield Town describes as "mutual consent" in a brief statement.

"The Club will now begin the search for a new Head of Football Operations," Huddersfield Town said in the statement. "Everyone at Huddersfield Town would like to wish David all the best in his future endeavours".
