Biography:
William McFrederick comes from a footballing family - his father, Sammy, was a goalkeeper with Derry City and Ballymoney. William joined Fulham in 2001 as a sixteen-year-old where he was to become an understudy to Edwin van der Sar and Maik Taylor. In January 2004 he was sent on loan to Crawley Town of the Southern League to gain some firstteam experience, but shortly after his return to Craven Cottage he was released. He wasn't without a club for long as Ballymena United stepped in to sign him on a short-term deal as cover for their Intertoto Cup campaign.

In the summer of 2004 McFrederick was selected for the Northern Ireland Milk Cup Elite squad and starred in a memorable win over Brazil. He had previously played for County Fermanagh in the younger age groups and at the 2004 tournament his younger brother Matthew did likewise. In April 2005 McFrederick was part of the Northern Ireland Junior international squad that took part in the annual Quadrangular tournament against Scotland, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland.

McFrederick remained with Ballymena for three seasons, claiming a regular place in 2005/06 and appearing in a 2-1 Co. Antrim Shield final defeat by Linfield. His form saw him called into the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad, but he never made it further than the substitutes bench as fellow Fermanagh-man, Michael McGovern was Roy Millar's preferred number one.

Having lost his place at Ballymena at the start of the 2006/07 season McFrederick spent some time on loan at his first club, Ballinamallard United. In December 2006 he was allowed to join Glenavon, where he was limited to only rare firstteam appearances. He joined Glentoran on loan in the summer of 2007 as goalkeeping cover for their UEFA Cup matches against AIK Solna, though returned to the Glenavon bench for the bulk of the 2007/08 season.

Having been released by Glenavon in the summer of 2008, McFrederick joined Armagh City. A change of jobs in 2010 appears to have curtailed his playing career.

Biography:
A skilful, rangy midfielder, Blackburn-born Adam Barton qualified for Northern Ireland through the parent rule.

Formerly a youth team player with Blackburn Rovers, Barton was released at 16 due to a serious back injury. Preston North End then took a chance and offered him a scholarship then a professional deal, on a two-and-a-half year contract, just prior to his eighteenth birthday. He was first included in Preston's senior squad in March 2009 when he was an unused substitute against Charlton. It was while on loan with Crawley that Barton made his firstteam debut, coming on as a substitute against Luton Town in a 3-0 Blue Square Premier defeat on 1st September 2009. He made his Preston debut, starting against Scunthorpe, on 10th April 2010 but was substituted at half-time following a head injury. Since the start of the 2010/11 season Barton has been a regular at Deepdale and he scored his first goal in a 4-3 defeat by local rivals Burnley on 11th Sptember 2010. Impressive early season form has already seen him linked to a number of Premier League sides.

Barton, who has previously been included in Northern Ireland Under-19 and Under-21 squads, earned his first senior call-up for the double header against Italy and the Faroe Islands in September 2010. A day later he withdrew from the squad hoping to keep his international options open. Two months later he was again called-up by Nigel Worthington as a late inclusion in the squad for a match against Morocco. As this was a friendly, his appearance had not permanently tied his future to Northern Ireland.

In March 2011, despite struggling for form and having been dropped from the Preston firstteam, Barton was called into the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad, making a further mockery of his earlier claims that he wished to retain the option of playing for England.

Barton joined Coventry for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2012. He was released when his contract expired in 2015 and joined Portsmouth.
