Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City and Middlesbrough FC among clubs represented in Yorkshire Team of the Week The maiden Yorkshire Team of the Week - with the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers and Middlesbrough represented Seven clubs are included in our maiden Yorkshire Post Team of the Weekend line-up for the new 2026-27 campaign. There's two votes apiece for Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers and Middlesbrough. And who gets the manager's nod? Here's the XI. Goalkeeper Tommy Simkin (Doncaster Rovers) Gets the vote ahead of Barnsley debutant Rogan Ravenhill - a very close call indeed. Brilliant in second half at Stockport and made a key spot-kick save. Defence Aden Baldwin (Bradford City) Powered home a header to clinch City's EFL Cup progress against Rochdale. Strong at the back, complete with trademark raking long passes. Radinio Balker (Huddersfield Town) Classy performance against Preston, including a goal. Imposing in his defensive work and eye-catching in his distribution. Big player for Town. Sil Swinkels (Sheffield Wednesday) Enjoyed an assured competitive debut at the back as Wednesday started out with a cup win at Hillsborough. Midfield Callum Slattery (Sheffield Wednesday) A hive of industry against Bolton and built on the uplifting performances he turned in during pre-season. Looks a good one. Adilson Malanda (Middlesbrough) Switched into a defensive midfield role, not for the last time and this was his most authoritative showing to date, against Wrexham. Callum Connolly (Bradford City) Responsible, strong performance and held his ground well. Looks a players' player. Owen Bailey (Doncaster Rovers) Crowned his new deal with a high energy, box to box showing at Edgeley Park. Huge player for Rovers. Forwards Reyes Cleary (Barnsley) Comfortably the Reds' biggest attacking threat against Wigan and it was no surprise when he set up McGeehan's leveller. Can the club keep him? Will Lankshear (Middlesbrough) Showed why Boro forked out a significant fee to land him. Scored a fine, improvised match-winning strike to put gloss on an accomplished debut performance. Patrick Bamford (Sheffield United) Got United rolling with a poachers' goal at Field Mill and his link-up play was typically on point. Manager/head coach: Chris Wilder (Sheffield United)
