Joe Skarz
Joseph Peter Skarz (born 13 July 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Northern Counties East League Premier Division club Liversedge.
Born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, Skarz came through his hometown club's academy. After making progress in the reserves, he made his first-team début on 4 November 2006, playing at left back in a 1–1 draw at home to Scunthorpe United. 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. On 3 February 2007, Skarz signed his first professional contract on a one-year basis since breaking through to the first team that season at left-back.
On 4 March 2007, Skarz received the Football League Award for League One Apprentice. Shortly after, Manager Peter Jackson made comments about Skarz regarding his positive future at Huddersfield Town.
After making twenty-seven appearances in the 2007–08 season, Skarz signed a new three-year contract in May 2008, which was to have kept him until 2011 at the Galpharm Stadium under then new manager Stan Ternent. Then, in the 2008–09 season, Skarz's first goal for the Terriers came against Town's greatest rivals Leeds United at Elland Road on 15 November 2008. The match finished 2–1 to Town. After the game, Gerry Murphy praised Skarz's performance. Skarz himself expressed at scoring his first goal for the club. Despite this, Skarz's first-team opportunities in Lee Clark's squad soon became limited by another left-back player, Robbie Williams once again.
After his loan spell at Hartlepool United came to an end, Skarz made his first start of the 2009–10 season in a 3–1 win over Stockport County in the League Cup. He became a regular in Town's left-back position, but then lost his place in the starting line up to Williams. Skarz was sent out on loan to League Two side Shrewsbury Town in January 2010 after the arrival of Australian international Dean Heffernan. After returning to his parent from a loan spell at Shrewsbury Town, Skarz was among players to be transfer listed ahead of the new season.
After having his first-team place limited at Huddersfield Town, Skarz joined fellow League One side Hartlepool United on loan on 26 March 2009. 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 having made 7 appearances for Hartlepool United.
Huddersfield manager Lee Clark sent Skarz on loan to League Two side Shrewsbury Town until the end of the season on 21 January 2010. He made his debut two days later, in a 2–1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge at the Prostar Stadium. After making twenty appearances for the club, Skarz returned to the Galpharm at the end of the season, although Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner, who replaced Paul Simpson who in turn managed Skarz during his loan spell, did express an interest in signing Skarz permanently if possible for the 2010–11 season.
After being placed on the transfer list by Clark at the end of 2009–10, Skarz left Huddersfield to join Football League Two side Bury. On 7 August 2010, Skarz made his debut for the club in a 1–0 loss against Port Vale and got his first clean sheet at the club in a 2–0 win over Cheltenham Town on 25 September 2010, ending the first seven games without conceding.
