Squad composition

How the 35-player squad breaks down by position, as published by North Central (IL) for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers5
  • Defenders11
  • Midfielders16 (12)
  • Forwards7 (3)

4 players are listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players.

Who is leaving, and when

3 of the 35 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 9% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 2 midfielders, 1 goalkeeper, 1 forward. 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.
