Squad composition
How the 36-player squad breaks down by position, as published by McKendree for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers5
- Defenders9 (8)
- Midfielders14 (13)
- Forwards8
1 player is listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players. 1 player has no position published.
Who is leaving, and when
6 of the 36 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 17% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 4 defenders, 1 goalkeeper, 1 midfielder. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

- Senior (final year)3

- Graduate (final year)3

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, of which there is 1.
