One bus was targeted on Saturday and two on Sunday on the Eastfield Estate, according to East Yorkshire Buses.

No-one was hurt, but several hundred pounds worth of damage was caused, the company adds.

Director Ben Gilligan said: "Bricks were thrown at the buses which resulted in a number of windows being smashed, curtailing services early and causing inconvenience for our customers.

"Thankfully nobody was injured but we had one customer who had a very near miss. If they'd been in the seat by the window they'd have been hit."

Huddersfield managing director Richard Thewlis said the club "really had no option but to agree" to a transfer request from Leeming after the player said he had "gone stale" and wanted a new challenge.

Leeds back-rower Owen Trout, 20, has joined Huddersfield on a four-year contract as part of the deal.

Clotet became Birmingham City head coach after Monk was sacked in the summer.

The Spaniard was his number two at Birmingham, Swansea City and Leeds United.

Clotet's side visit Hillsborough tonight.

"Unfortunately, I didn't listen to a lot of people in football circles who warned me about him. That's an error of judgement from myself," said Monk.

"I don't speak with him. What's most important to me when I'm assembling a staff is to give them an opportunity and show them complete trust, and that they repay that trust.

"Sadly not everyone has that character. Some choose to pursue their own opportunities in the worst possible way."

Clotet would not discuss his relationship with Monk when asked about it in his pre-match news conference.

But Birmingham were more forthcoming on social media, by appearing to make a joke of the situation:
