Huddersfield boss Lee Clark has denied making an approach for Ipswich striker Jon Stead. The 27-year-old looks set for the exit door at Portman Road after falling out of favour.

"Jon's a very good footballer who made a big impact after moving from here to Blackburn and has continued to score goals ever since," Clark told the Huddersfield Examiner.

"He's also a player (Town performance coach) Steve Black knows well, having worked with him at Sunderland.

"But he is under contract at Ipswich, and if I wanted to speak to any player under contract, I would approach his manager first. That's what I did with Jordan Rhodes, but I haven't contacted Roy (Keane) about Jon Stead."
