Leeds United have appointed Paul Hart as their new academy director.

The 62-year-old has been out of work following a temporary stint as manager of Notts County towards the back end of last season.

Hart enjoyed a successful spell with the academy at Elland Road between 1993 and 1997, helping to bring through the likes of Paul Robinson, Jonathan Woodgate and Harry Kewell.

The former defender has also managed the academies at Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic and Notts.

Leeds have recently brought Hull City coach Daral Pugh in as head of coaching along with former striker Andy Gray, who will run the club's Under-16s side.

Hart also played for Leeds between 1978 and 1983.
