Squad composition

How the 30-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Ill. Springfield for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers4
  • Defenders11
  • Midfielders9
  • Forwards6

Who is leaving, and when

13 of the 30 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 43% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 6 defenders, 6 midfielders, 1 forward. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

  • Senior (final year)10

  • Graduate (final year)3

    3 midfielders

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.
