(Reuters) - Struggling Huddersfield Town have been bought by an unnamed North American group, the Championship (second-tier) club announced on Thursday.

The takeover will end chairman Dean Hoyle's 14-year association with Huddersfield, who are currently third from bottom in the Championship, on 36 points from 38 games and in danger of being relegated.
