Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster Rovers represented in Yorkshire Team of the Week

It was not a vintage weekend for most Yorkshire sides ahead of signing off for the final international break of 2025-26.

Still, there were some highlights, most notably for Hull City and Doncaster Rovers, while there was some welcome representation for relegated Sheffield Wednesday, following a plucky show out east.

Here's the latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week line-up.

Goalkeeper

Pierce Charles (Sheffield Wednesday)

Excellent showing from the highly-rated young ‘keeper and without him, Hull would have been afforded a much larger margin of victory.

Defence

Neill Byrne (Doncaster Rovers)

The Bradford City loanee has proved a shrewd January signing, reinforced by events at Oakwell.

Matty Pearson (Doncaster Rovers)

Continued his mini-renaissance as Rovers secured back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since late August. His partnership with Byrne was a good one at his old stomping ground.

Adilson Malanda (Middlesbrough)

Boro's best of another day of frustration at Blackburn. Started many attacks from the back; shame those further forward weren't as accomplished.

Paddy McNair (Hull City)

Showed his versatility with an accomplished display at left-back. Set up a goal as well.

Midfield

Andre Brooks (Sheffield United)

Found the net against Wrexham and was the Blades' biggest attacking threat by some distance.

Cameron Humphreys (Huddersfield Town)

Scored a fine goal as was the main positive on another tough day on the road for Town at Plymouth.

Matt Crooks (Hull City)

Again showed his prowess as a goalscoring midfielder with a key contribution for the Tigers.

Tyreik Wright (Bradford City)

The Bantams' go-to player of late and scored for the third time in his past four matches, albeit in a losing cause at Burton.

Forwards

Jamal Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday)

Crowned a lively appearance with a goal at the MKM Stadium.

Kyle Joseph (Hull City)

Caused plenty of bother for the Owls on a day when he scored and contributed an assist. Tireless display.

Manager/head coach: Grant McCann (Doncaster Rovers)
