After a topsy-turvy 2025-26, Grant McCann's side comfortably secured their status in League One thanks to a strong end to the season.
A clutch of players will depart the club this summer with the likes of Billy Sharp and James Maxwell released and loanees such as Elliot Lee returning to their parent clubs.
With that in mind, let's look at what the squad currently looks like. We've included all the players on professional contracts, with some yet to make their senior debuts. It remains unclear when or if goalkeeper Jake Oram will sign a new contract but if he does then you can bump the overall number up to 24 ahead of the summer recruitment drive.
