Joe Skarz (born July 13, 1989 in Huddersfield) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Huddersfield Town in Coca-Cola League One. His family originally came from Austria, hence his surname. He attended Newsome High School and Sports College[citation needed].
On 4 November 2006, following impressive displays for the reserve side, Skarz made his début at left back in the home 1-1 draw against Scunthorpe United due to a shortage of cover in this position.
On 13 January 2007, Peter Jackson announced that Skarz would be the first choice left-back in preference to Danny Adams, although Jackson then signed Blackburn Rovers defender Andy Taylor on loan as competition for Skarz.[1]
On 4 March 2007, Skarz received the Football League Award for League One Apprentice.[2]
On May 8, 2008, Skarz signed a new three-year contract at the Galpharm Stadium under new manager Stan Ternent.
