Leeds United and Doncaster Rovers lead way in Yorkshire Team of the Week with Barnsley FC also represented

Slim pickings for Yorkshire clubs last weekend, but seven clubs have still managed to make the cut with representatives in our latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week.

Leeds United and Doncaster Rovers lead the way and who is the boss?

Goalkeeper

Karl Darlow (Leeds United)

Unflappable, strong performance at Selhurst Park as Leeds United chiselled out an excellent point, despite a considerable handicap.

Defence

Matty Pearson (Doncaster Rovers)

Carried on from where he left off against former club Luton with a physically dominant showing versus Blackpool.

Japhet Tanganga (Sheffield United)

Superb showing alongside Tyler Bindon as the Blades took something back from Birmingham's St Andrew's fortress.

Joe Rodon (Leeds United)

Stood tall at the Palace as Leeds remained rock-solid after going down to 10 men.

Gabriel Otegbayo (Sheffield Wednesday)

Fine performance against top-two chasing Ipswich at Hillsborough.

Midfield

Patrick Kelly (Barnsley)

Showed his worth to the Reds on his return from injury with a quality show at Mansfield.

Ethan Ampadu (Leeds United)

Displayed all his admirable leadership qualities to see Leeds home at Palace.

Robbie Gotts (Doncaster Rovers)

Continued his renaissance in 2026 with a tenacious display versus Blackpool as Rovers claimed three huge points.

Owen Bailey (Doncaster Rovers)

In the right place to notch his 15th goal of a goalden season - another captain's innings.

Attacking midfield

Leo Castledine (Middlesbrough)

Revived Boro and put them in front with an eye-catching strike against Bristol City.

Forward

Sam Nombe (Rotherham United)

Carried on his purple patch against Bolton and showed just why they chased him in January with a brace.

Manager/head coach: Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
