Huddersfield Town coach Leigh Bromby has become chairman of his first club, Liversedge FC.
The Northern Counties East League Premier Division side are delighted to have Bromby on board as they kick off their campaign with a trip to Clipstone on Saturday.
Their first home game is against Thackley at Clayborn next Tuesday (7.45).
Bromby, who is Under 18 Professional Development Coach for Town, started out at Liversedge before signing for Sheffield Wednesday.
He went on to play for Sheffield United, Watford and Leeds United and now, in addition to his coaching, has a number of business interests in this area.
A Liversedge committee spokesman said: “Leigh has agreed to take the role to help elevate the stature and profile of the club.
“Along with his strong football and business links, we hope to forge stronger relationships with local businesses and the community.”
Bromby will take a Town XI to play Liversedge at Clayborn on Tuesday, August 25.
Entry will be £2.50, with Under 15s free. Town fans with a season-ticket will also get in free.
The 100th person through the gate will receive two free tickets to a Town match, while the 200th supporter will get a Town signed shirt. A mystery prize is on offer to the 300th fan through the gates on the night.
Match and ball sponsorships are available by contacting Danny Cooper at Liversedgefc@btinternet.com
