Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Bradford City well-represented in Yorkshire Team of the Week

West Yorkshire trio Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Bradford City enjoyed a good representation in our festive Yorkshire Post Team of the Week - and final one of 2025.

Seven clubs were represented in total and who gets the manager's nod?

Goalkeeper

Pierce Charles (Sheffield Wednesday)

A bright young thing back on the scene for the Owls and produced a tremendous assist against Hull City, to the delight of his team-mates.

Defence

Luke Ayling (Middlesbrough)

With Boro's defenders dropping like flies, the veteran held things together at the back against the club's bogey opponents Blackburn.

Joe Wright (Bradford City)

Strong performance at both ends and brought the house down with a late winner against Wigan.

Gabriel Gudmundsson (Leeds United)

A dynamic raider down the left and got in some vital blocks as United secured a handy point at Sunderland.

Midfield

Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United)

Here, there and everywhere on Wearside and delivered a super assist for DCL leveller.

Patrick Kelly (Barnsley)

Barnsley's stand-out on a real see-saw Boxing Day against Mansfield.

Leo Castledine (Huddersfield Town)

Confirmed his reputation as one of League One's best players and showed just why Town are so desperate to keep him. Scored two brilliant goals against Port Vale.

Forwards

Bojan Radulovic (Huddersfield Town)

Found the net in Town's rout and some his link-up play was simply exquisite

Stephen Humphrys (Bradford City)

Grabbed his second goal in successive matches to crown a superb display against old side Wigan.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)

Entered the history books with his sixth goal in successive top-flight games. Running hot.

Patrick Bamford (Sheffield United)

His two deft finishes were the highlight on a tough day for the Blades in north Wales.

Manager/head coach: Lee Grant (Huddersfield Town)
