Russell was most recently employed by Cheltenham Town, serving as Wade Elliott’s assistant before a brief spell in interim charge following Elliott’s axing. He has now joined Huddersfield, taking the reins of Huddersfield’s second-string side and easing the burden on academy manager Jon Worthington.
The 57-year-old previously held a similar role at Stoke City, leading their under-21 side between 2018 and 2023.
Huddersfield’s sporting director Mark Cartwright said: “We’re delighted to welcome Kevin to the club today. Bringing in a full-time B team manager is an important step, as it frees up Jon Worthington to focus on his tasks as academy manager at a vital time of expansion for our youth setup.
