A central midfielder, also capable of playing at right-back, Darren McKnight spent three seasons playing with Barnsley's youth sides, but never made it into the first team. During his time at Oakwell he was a regular for Northern Ireland at Under-17 and Under-19 level. It was shortly after transferring to Shrewsbury that he stepped-up to the Northern Ireland Under-21 side, making his debut in a 1-1 draw in Iceland.

McKnight was released by Shrewsbury in January 2016 without having made a firstteam appearance. Shortly thereafter he began training with Morecambe, and signed a short-term deal in March.

Biography:
A left-sided attacking midfielder, Paul McElroy rose through the academy set-up at Hull City after arriving from Dungannon Swifts in 2010 and signed his first professional contract in May 2013. He has been a regular through the Northern Ireland age-group set-up, graduating to the Under-21 side in 2013. As a teenager he was also an accomplished Gaelic footballer with "The Clarkes" in his native Dungannon.

McElroy was released by Hull at the end of the 2013/14 season. He signed for Sheffield Wednesday, but stayed just a month before leaving for personal reasons. He then joined Linfield after a successful trial, but left mid-season for Portadown. He was on the move again at that summer, returning to Dungannon Swifts.

Biography:
Qualified for Northern Ireland through a Coleraine-born grandparent, James McPake was first called into the Northern Ireland squad at the end of the 2011/12 season, and put in an admirable rearguard performance on his début despite a 6-0 defeat by the Netherlands. Although he has been included in several more squads, he has yet to add to his cap collection, and seems unlikely to do so in the near future.

In January 2018 McPake announced his retirement due to a knee injury. It had been two years since he last played, having suffered the injury while playing in the Dundee-derby on 2nd January 2016. He took up a coaching position with the Dundee Academy.

Biography:
Younger brother of Conor McLaughlin.

A member of the St Mary's Grammar side that won the Belfast Senior Schools Cup in 2011.

A regular through Northern Ireland's youth teams, he made his Under-21 debut against FYR Macedonia in May 2012.

Joined the Liverpool's senior squad for their summer 2012 tour of the USA and made his debut in a friendly against Roma.

Received his first senior international call-up for August 2012 friendly against Finland but had to withdraw due to a hip injury.


In January 2014 he joined Championship side Barnsley on an initial one month loan and made an impressive senior debut in a 2-0 win over Blackpool. The deal was called into question when he suffered a hamstring injury, but on his recovery the move was extended until the end of the season.

Another loan deal saw McLaughlin join Aberdeen early in the 2015/16 season. He enjoyed very few firstteam minutes at Pittodrie and returned to Liverpool mid-season as they suffered an injury crisis.

For a period McLaughlin declined to be included in any international squads, leading to speculation that he was about to switch allegiances to the Republic of Ireland. However, on selection for the Northern Ireland squad that toured South America in the summer of 2014 he revealed that he had simply been trying to make his mark at club level. On making his debut as a substitute in a 1-0 defeat by Uruguay he became the first current Liverpool player to earn a senior Northern Ireland cap since Elisha Scott in 1934. He was also joined on the pitch by Conor, making them the 21st brothers to earn full international recognition from the Irish FA.

McLaughlin's injury hampered five years at Liverpool ended when released in the summer of 2016 without making a senior competitive appearance. He then joined Oldham Athletic, managed by Stephen Robinson who had coached him at international level.
