Lee Clark has this morning signed his contract to become the new manager of Huddersfield Town.

The 36-year old is now contracted to the Club until June 2012 having left his post as Assistant Manager of Championship side Norwich City.

He is set to be joined at the Galpharm Stadium by his new coaching staff - former England and Manchester City coach Derek Fazackerley, who will join as Assistant Manager, and ex British Lions Fitness Coach Steve Black, who will be Town's new Performance Coach.

The trio will be introduced to the media at a Press Conference at the Galpharm Stadium at 10am on Friday morning.

The three first worked together when Clark was a midfielder at Newcastle United under Kevin Keegan - Fazackerley was First Team Coach at St. James Park whereas Black was Fitness Coach - and will link up with existing Goalkeeping Coach John Vaughan to form Town's new management team.

Following the conclusion of his long and successful playing career as a midfielder for Newcastle, Sunderland and Fulham, former England Under-21 international Clark joined the coaching staff at St. James Park under manager Glenn Roeder before leaving the Magpies to rejoin Roeder as Assistant Manager of Norwich in November 2007.

Lee, who is currently completing the prestigious UEFA Pro License course, has made a real impact at Carrow Road and together with Roeder kept the Canaries in the Championship upon his appointment last season.

A spell as Player-Manager of Finnish side Kumu followed in May 1990 ahead of coaching appointments with Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and the England national team where he gained experience at the highest levels of football including the Premiership, the Champions League and several World Cup qualifiers.

Fazackerley most recently worked as First Team Coach under Sven-Goran Eriksson at Manchester City and is renowned in football circles for his excellent organisational skills and defensive coaching ability.

Performance Coach Black also brings a wealth of experience to the Club after spells at the highest levels of both Football and Rugby Union. Newcastle-born, he has previously worked as Fitness Advisor for Newcastle United, Newcastle Falcons RFU, the British and Irish Lions side and has a long list of high-profile clients including Jonny Wilkinson, Jonathan Edwards and Kevin Keegan - with the latter describing him as 'the best one-to-one coach in the World'.

Caretaker Manager Gerry Murphy will stay in charge of the first team for this weekend's League One game at Southend United, with Clark watching the game from the stands ahead of starting work on Monday.
