Squad: Karl Slater Started with Pontefract in the NCE in the 1990-91 season and had three successful seasons before moving on to. Returned from Brodsworth. His wealth of experience and command in the air at the centre of defence has been a steadying influence.

Andy Lanes Central - Midfielder A player who has served the club from junior sides, he is hard and determined and as a good heading ability.

Kevin Duckworth Ducky was a proven goal scorer at NCE level, previously with Tadcaster Albion, joined Colls in 2005-06. A natural finisher.

Matt Herschell - Smith Goalkeeper Joined the Colls from Westella & Willerby of the Premier League. Very good all round keeper.

Mike Rossitor A reliable defender never lets the side down.

Craig Elliott Centre - Forward Powerful target man with bags of NCE experience, including neighbours Glasshoughton. A great leader and at times seemingly impossible to dispossess.

Andy Birkett Mid - Fielder - Defender Came through the juniors. Andy can always be relied on both on and off the pitch.

Tom Grindel Midfield - Striker Came through academy, played with reserves. Established himself into the first team scoring regularly. Former clubs Frickley Athletic - Askern Welfare.

Ryan Osborne Central - Midfielder Only 18 years of age, a squad member already good passer of the ball.

Ashley Robinson Midfield - Forward Another player that came through the academy, former clubs St Josephs.

Kieron Turner Centre Forward A prolific scorer for the Colls under 19's, Kieron has done well in his limited opportunities at first team level. Never lets the side down.

Paul Mullooly Defender - Midfielder Played at the Colls before joining local side Pontefract Sports & Social before returning to the club, always gives 100%.

Steve Slater Defender Steve can play in defence or mid-field, and is the longest serving player at the club. Experienced NCE player can be relied upon.

Michael Seed Left - Midfield Played most of last year with reserves, always gives 110% when called on for first team duties.
