Biography:

Rory Donnelly's stunning early season form in 2011/12 saw him earn a move from Irish League Cliftonville to Premier League Swansea, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton also reportedly interested. 

Included in both Northern Ireland Under-21 and senior squads, he was capped for the first time in an Under-21 friendly against Denmark in August 2013.

Donnelly's debut in full-time football came as a substitute against Crawley in the League Cup in September 2012. It was nearly a year until his second Swans appearance as he started a Europa League match at Petrolul Ploiesti. In January 2014 he was sent to Coventry on loan but stayed just a few days before returning to the Liberty Stadium having not played a game. Having also been plagued by injuries, he was again sent out on loan mid-way through the 2014/15 season, joining Tranmere. He scored his first senior goals since leaving Cliftonville against Accrington Stanley in his first start. Three goals in as many starts brought him the January League Two Player of the Month award.

Donnelly was released by Swansea at the conclusion of his loan spell at Tranmere. He then signed for Gillingham on a two-year contract.

Biography:
Lee Hodson came through the ranks with his local club, Watford and made his debut as a substitute against Derby County on the final day of the 2008/09 season aged just 17. He established himself in the firstteam in the following campaign, earning praise for his consistency and making use of his strength, speed and reading of the game which allowed him to become an effective attacking force. Two-footed, he has played both in his favoured right-back role and at left-back for the Hornets.

Already a Youth international, Hodson was elevated to the Under-21 team while still just 17 years-old to make his debut in a Euro qualifier in the Czech Republic in September 2009. He is joined at Watford by fellow Northern Ireland Under-21s, Michael Bryan and Adam Thompson.

Hodson received his first senior call-up in November 2010 as a late replacement in the Northern Ireland squad to face Morocco. He played the full ninety minutes and acquitted himself well in a low-key 1-1 draw.

In July 2013, Hodson joined MK Dons on a free transfer. He soon fell out of the reckoning for both club and country, but a loan spell at Kilmarnock in the second half of the 2015/16 season appeared to re-invigorate him, and he was a surprise inclusion in Michael O'Neill's Euro 2016 finals squad.

Hodson joined Rangers on a three year deal ahead of the 2016/17 season.
