The beginning of a new League One season is edging closer, with pre-season preparations across the division being taken up a notch.
Five Yorkshire clubs will compete in England’s third tier next season, many of whom will have promotion ambitions.
Sheffield Wednesday were relegated from the Championship last season but the completion of a takeover by Arise Capital Partners has provided fans with a renewed sense of optimism. Confidence ahead of the season has only been strengthened by ambitious recruitment, with Ricardo Santos, Barry Bannan, Louie Barry and Harry Gray among the high-profile new arrivals.
Huddersfield were tipped for promotion tilt last summer after showing ambition of their own in the transfer market. The Terriers again fell short of expectations and Martin Drury has been tasked with overseeing the club’s revival.
It was also a season of disappointment for Barnsley, who fell into the bottom half of the table. The Reds have looked to the past to address their future, rehiring Daniel Stendel as head coach.
There is continuity at Bradford City and Doncaster Rovers, with Graham Alexander and Grant McCann still in their respective roles.
Both led their clubs to promotion from League Two last season and while Doncaster consolidated their third-tier status, Bradford reached the play-offs.
