Sky Sports pundit Michael Brown has hailed the job his former Leeds United teammate Leigh Bromby has done in aiding Huddersfield Town amid their Premier League promotion charge.
The 41-year-old current heads up the Terriers' footballing operations and could still see Town promoted back to the Premier League this season. Carlos Corberan's side will face Nottingham Forest in the Championship's play-off final, after successfully overcoming Luton Town by 2-1 on aggregate.
With Forest coming through a thrilling penalty shootout contest with Sheffield United on Tuesday evening, much has been made of Town's underdog chance.

“I think it’s been a real interesting season for Huddersfield and Leigh Bromby has done an unbelievable job, who’s signed all the players,” Brown said on Sky Sports.
David Prutton, another former Leeds player, also heaped praise on Bromby, pointing out that there have been restraints regarding the club's funds this season.
He said: “That’s the director of football. They’ve been told the budget is going to reduce. He’s then signed all of his players, he’s taken the manager in, they’ve built on where they were and people were saying ‘well, you’re going to struggle with that sort of recruitment, those level of players’.
“The coach has been given the players and from then on the system he’s gone on to bring with the recruitment side of it on a tight budget…to deliver a finish like they’ve gone and done is remarkable from the two of them, and now they’re one step away."
