York City, Bradford City, Middlesbrough and Barnsley FC represented in Yorkshire Team of the Week
The latest Yorkshire Team of the Week - with York City, Middlesbrough, Barnsley and more represented
No less than seven clubs are included in our penultimate Yorkshire Post Team of the Week for 2025-26.
Given the fact that York City returned to the English Football League in astonishing fashion at Rochdale, it would be remiss not to include the EFL newcomers after they ended their decade-long exile from the big time.
Here's the side in a 3-4-3 formation. And who is the manager?
Goalkeeper
Harrison Male (York City)
Handled well on a nerve-shredding afternoon when everything was on the line. No chance with Dieseruvwe's goal.
Defence
Malachi Fagan-Walcott (York City)
Cool at the back and powered forward with aplomb in second half at Spotland. Showed why he has been one of the best defenders in National League this term and displayed plenty of evidence that he will handle the step up to the fourth tier in his stride.
Curtis Tilt (Bradford City)
Immense performance in City's memorial game against Bolton and they will need him and others to stay strong at Exeter to seal the play-off deal. Has had an excellent campaign.
Ibou Touray (Bradford City)
A quiet, unsung hero for City in 25-26 and was impressive versus Wanderers.
Midfield
Adam Phillips (Barnsley)
Found the net and played his part in a good offensive performance by the Reds, who pushed play-off chasing Luton all the way.
Dan Gore (Rotherham United)
Signed off at the NYS with a typically tenacious, high-energy showing against Reading. The Millers will miss the young loanee.
Morgan Whittaker (Middlesbrough)
Scored a goal of the season contender and was at his electrifying best against Watford. Almost took home the match ball after rattling the bar with a ferocious drive as Boro got their mojo back, attacking wise.
Forwards
Josh Stones (York City)
Simply impossible to ignore him after THAT goal at Rochdale.
Billy Sharp (Doncaster Rovers)
In his final appearance for Rovers in front of the Black Bank, he was always going to score, let's face it..And he did against Stevenage.
Shawn McCoulsky (Harrogate Town)
Took the Sulphurites' League Two fates to the last day with a fine double at Walsall.
Manager/head coach: Stuart Maynard (York City)
