Squad composition
How the 26-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Howard Payne for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers3
- Defenders12 (10)
- Midfielders7 (4)
- Forwards7 (6)
3 players are listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players.
Who is leaving, and when
2 of the 26 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 8% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 1 defender, 1 midfielder. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for.
