LEE CLARK has quashed speculation linking him with the managerial vacancy at former club Fulham.
Reports suggested Town’s manager was being lined up as a replacement for Roy Hodgson at Craven Cottage.
But Clark, who played for Fulham between 1999 and 2005, said: "I’ve spoken to Dean Hoyle, the chairman, this morning and he has had no contact from Fulham, our chief executive Nigel Clibbens has had no contact from Fulham and I have had no contact from Fulham.
"Most of the time I don’t comment on speculation, but there has been absolutely no contact from Fulham and I don’t want people to become unsettled.
"It came as a genuine surprise to me when I saw the story on television, but I take the same attitude towards it that I do when our players get linked with clubs from a higher division – it’s a good sign because it means that we are doing things right.
"We’ve had a terrific first week of pre-season since the players came back on June 28 and we are all currently at our pre-season training camp.
"I’m completely focussed on getting things ready for the new season with Huddersfield Town.
"I’ve been in the process of strengthening the squad all summer and I’m really pleased with the signings we have made so far. Hopefully there might be a couple more ahead of the start of the season.
"I don’t want anything to detract from what is a massive season for our club – and it won’t."
