Huddersfield Town part ways with chief executive Jake Edwards

The Terriers CEO leaves with immediate effect by mutual agreement

Huddersfield Town chief executive officer Jake Edwards has departed the club with immediate effect by mutual agreement.

Edwards arrived in the post in summer 2023 as part of Kevin Nagle’s takeover of the club.

Over the past three years, Edwards has been in overall charge of the club and played a crucial role in the club’s acquisition of Accu Stadium, which was completed in September.

Nagle said in a club statement: “I would like to give my personal thanks to Jake as he leaves his role at the club today.

“Jake played a significant part in leading the club operation in many successful enterprises over our past three years. For that, I will always be grateful to him, and I will always consider him a friend.”

Edwards added: “I would like to thank Kevin Nagle for putting his trust in me to lead this historic club over the last three seasons, which has been a tremendous honour.

“I am proud of the significant work we’ve done to acquire and transform Accu Stadium, to redefine club business operations, and to expand our football infrastructure from our new academy to the men’s and women’s first teams.

“The club is well positioned for an exciting future with much more to come. I wish Kevin, our dedicated staff, and our passionate supporters nothing but success moving forward. UTT!”

The day-to-day running of the club will now be led by chief operations officer David Threlfall-Sykes, who has been at Town for 20 years and took his current role in 2024. His job title will remain unchanged.
