A 22-year-old keeper who has made a string of appearances on the bench at first-team level, but not yet played. Rothwell born, he joined Town aged 10 and has had a loan spell at Ilkeston.

Jacob Hanson

Town have high hopes of the 18-year-old right-back who was on the bench for this season’s Capital One Cup first round clash with Notts County. The athletic former striker comes from Kirkburton.

Jack Senior

The versatile left-sided player from Stainland joined Town aged 10 from Elland and has just turned 19. He caught the eye in pre-season and went on the first-team training trip to Spain.

William Boyle

The 20-year-old development team skipper and centre-back has made one first-team appearance as a substitute and spent time on loan at Kidderminster Harriers, Macclesfield Town and York City. While Garforth-born, he qualifies for Scotland and has been on an Under 18 training camp North of the border.

Danny Kane

The central defender, 18, was signed from renowned Dublin junior side Cherry Orchard in 2013 and has skippered the Republic of Ireland at Under 19 level. He is a former Republic Under 17 Player of the Year.

Philip Billing

The 19-year-old Danish junior international made his fifth first-team appearance as a substitute at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The rangy midfielder was signed from Esbjerg in 2013.

Regan Booty

The midfielder from Holmfirth is the 17-year-old son of former Town player and coach Martyn Booty. Naturally left footed, he started as a winger or full-back before moving into the centre of the pitch.

Jake Charles

The 19-year-old grandson of Welsh footballing legend John Charles is himself an Under 21 international forward who has made one first-team appearance as a substitute. He has also had a loan spell at Guiseley.

Ronan Coughlin

The attacking Irishman, 20, joined Town from Limerick in 2014, impressed with a debut double in a friendly against Brighouse Town and has steadily improved, making his mark as a No10.

Duane Holmes

The diminutive American-born forward, 21, has played 26 times at first-team level, the first of those appearances coming in the Capital One Cup third-round tie at Hull City September 2013 and has had loans at Yeovil Town and Bury.

Flo Bojaj

The Albanian junior international has been involved in five Championship games as a substitute this season. The Kosovo-born 19-year-old joined Town from Hertfordshire junior football in 2013.

Substitutes:

Jack Boyle

The Garforth Villa product, 18, has been with Town since he was 10 and has often played in older age-group teams, proving himself capable in a variety of forward roles. Has recovered well after a knee injury last season.

Jamie Spencer

Comfortable in either central defence or midfield, the 18-year-old hails from Calderdale and joined Town from Halifax Irish as a nine-year-old. Has skippered Town’s Under 18 side in the Professional Development League.

Rekeil Pyke

The powerful striker, 18, put pen to paper on a long-term contract last February. A regular scorer at Under 18 level, he comes from Chapeltown in Leeds and played for Rothwell Juniors before joining the Town academy.

Unused substitutes:

Fraser Horsfall

Huddersfield-born, the imposing 19-year-old centre-back attended Salendine Nook High School and played for YMCA before joining his hometown club at 11. Useful at attacking set-pieces, he has also operated in central midfield.

Tadhg Ryan

Just turned 19, the keeper caught the eye in junior football before signing for Limerick, from whom Town signed him in 2014. As a youngster, he was part of the Football Association of Ireland’s emerging talent programme.
