The role of the Huddersfield Town Academy is to develop players and their abilities to their full potential for the club's first team.

After the arrival of chairman Dean Hoyle in the summer of 2009, there was an overall development in every aspect of Huddersfield Town, including the academy.

The main development taking place with regards to the academy is the current redevelopment of the club's new training complex, Canalside.

The project will conclude with the academy players training alongside their first-team counterparts for the first time at a high quality, purpose-built facility.
