Joseph Peter "Joe" Skarz (born July 13, 1989 in Huddersfield) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Huddersfield Town in League One. As of March 26, 2009, he is on loan at Hartlepool United.
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. Manager 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] He signed a new three-year in May 2008 contract at the Galpharm Stadium under new manager Stan Ternent.
His first goal for the Terriers came against Town's greatest rivals Leeds United at Elland Road on November 15, 2008. The match finished 2-1 to Town. After being frozen out of new manager Lee Clark's squad by Robbie Williams, he joined fellow League One side Hartlepool United on loan on March 26, 2009.[3] He made his debut as a substitute the following day in the 3-2 defeat to Southend United at Roots Hall. Skarz returned to his parent club after his loan deal expired.[4]
