Abbott praised Bennett performance and said: "They were wonder saves and saves change games. If one of those had gone in it would have been different." On 18 May, he saved a penalty in the League One play-off semi-final penalty shootout against Bournemouth, which Huddersfield went on to win 4–2. The following season he saved two penalties in Town's 2–2 away draw with Scunthorpe United on 25 October 2011. At the end of the season, Bennett signed a new two-year contract which would see him stay on until the age of 42. Coaching career Bennett's playing contract expired in May 2014. However, after Nick Colgan was appointed as senior goalkeeping coach, Bennett was appointed to Colgan's previous role as goalkeeping coach for the Huddersfield Town academy. A year later, Bennett left the Yorkshire club after five years in order to take up an Academy coaching role at Nottingham Forest. Ahead of the 2020–21 season, he moved on to Middlesbrough to join Neil Warnock's staff as goalkeeping coach.
