Now in his seventh year as Chairman of Huddersfield Town, Hoyle has overseen the Terriers’ promotion to the Championship and the Club currently sit in the Championship’s play-off positions.
Hoyle, a life-long Huddersfield Town supporter, joined the Club in 2008 on the Board of Directors before becoming Chairman in June 2009.
