North Shields Football Club is delighted to officially announce its confirmed first-team playing squad for the upcoming 2026/27 Ebac Northern League campaign.
Following the recent release of the domestic league fixture list and national cup dates, the management team has finalized a competitive, robust 23-man roster. The squad features an exciting blend of experienced non-league leaders, retained fan favorites, and dynamic technical talent, all assembled to push for success on multiple fronts.
The confirmed North Shields FC squad list for the 2026/27 season is as follows:
Goalkeepers & Defenders: Callum Elliott, Sean McCafferty, James Sloan, Carter Milmore, Ben Harmison, Darren Lough, Blair Adams, Tom Bexton Euan Anderson & Dan Cherry.
Midfielders: Lewis Suddick, Adam Forster, Ben Sampson, Reece Wanless, Ryan Carr, Stephen Hall, Luke Carr.
Forwards: Dean Holmes, Lee Mason, Nelson Ogbewe, Jordan Lashley, Jake Lish & Dan Wilson.
With pre-season training camps already demanding the highest standards, the squad is shaping up brilliantly to handle a grueling schedule. The campaign officially kicks off on the road on Saturday, July 25th against Newton Aycliffe, closely followed by away fixtures at Thornaby and Northallerton Town, before the highly anticipated home opener at the Daren Persson Stadium against Shildon on Wednesday, August 5th.
Reaction from the North Shields FC Management Team:
“We are incredibly pleased with the shape, depth, and character of the squad we’ve assembled for this season. Every single player on this list brings a specific quality, work ethic, and hunger that aligns perfectly with the culture we want at this football club.
The Ebac Northern League is unforgiving, and to be successful, you need a tight-knit dressing room that can weather the storm and perform under pressure. Pre-season is already proving that these lads are ready to fight for the shirt, for each other, and for the supporters. We can’t wait to see them walk out come July 25th.”
