Former Huddersfield Town loans manager David Fox has rejoined Plymouth Argyle as their head of football operations. The 41-year-old returns to the Pilgrims after ending his playing career

with the club, where he had a three-year spell between 2016 and 2019 and made 142 appearances. Fox joined Town as loans manager in 2020, and recently departed the Terriers for Leicester

City, where he took up the same role. However, the former midfielder has moved on from the Foxes after a brief spell to rejoin Plymouth. The ex-Blackpool, Colchester United, Norwich City and

Crewe Alexandra player rejoins a side that will take on Town in League One next season, with the Pilgrims having been relegated from the Championship this term. Argyle also announced the

appointment of Tom Randle as head of recruitment, replacing the departing Jimmy Dickinson, while head of football data Ross Goodwin has also left the Greens. Plymouth chief executive Andrew

Parkinson said in a club statement: “Following Neil Dewsnip’s (former director of football) departure we reviewed the structure of our football leadership department and spoke openly about

our desire to appoint a sporting director. “Following further thought and advice from external consultants, introducing the role of head of football operations was better suited to the way

we wanted our football leadership team to move forward. “Although the process took longer than anticipated, we were intent on bringing in someone with not only the relevant skills and

experience for the role, but someone who knows Argyle and Plymouth. Someone who knows the intricacies of the club, our location and our uniqueness. In David, we have exactly that. “He is a

firm fans’ favourite who knows the club well from his time here as a player, and we believe he is the perfect person to step into this role and lead our football operations forward. “He will

work closely with Tom, who we are also thrilled to bring to Argyle. He brings extensive recruitment experience and, having worked with Miron (Muslic, head coach) at Cercle Brugge, already

understands the players who best fit his style. “Finally I want to thank Jimmy and Ross who have departed the club for new roles. Both have done excellent jobs in their time with Argyle, and

we thank them for their commitment and contributions and wish them well for the future.”
