 | ADAM BEASLEY (midfield) DoB:
A strong-tackling midfielder who joined from Nantwich Town in October 2008. Although a favourite with the fans due to his committed approach, he does not lack skill on the ball as demonstrated by scoring some both spectacular and decisive long-range goals. He started his career at Reading before moving to Newcastle Town where he had two spells either side of playing at Congleton Town and Winsford United. He joined Nantwich in 2005. Debut: 25/10/2008 v Glapwell; Appearances 45+(1); Goals 7 |
 | RICKY BRIDGE (midfield) DoB:
Ricky joined from Alsager Town in July 2008. A pacey winger who can cause defenders all sorts of problems, he endured an injury-ravaged first season at Clough Hall, but made a significant contribution to Kidsgrove's Staffs Senior Cup victory, winning the stoppage-time penalty that took the game into extra time. He fared little better during 2009/10, but is now hopefully back to full fitness and ready to make an impact in the first team. He was part of Leek Town's youth team and has been on the books at Manchester City and Port Vale. Debut: 16/08/2008 v Goole; Appearances 26+(24); Goals 6 |
 | CRAIG DOVE (defender) DoB: 06/08/1983
Born in Hartlepool, Craig started his career at Middlesbrough, coming through the youth system and making two first team appearances. After a spell on loan at York City, he moved to Rushden and Diamonds in July 2004 where he spent a season, before transferring to Chester City. He joined Kidsgrove in July 2008, and his experience has proved a valuable asset to a very young squad. In his time at Kidsgrove, he has alternated between playing in defence and midfield but is currently a regular in the left back postion. Debut: 16/08/2008 v Goole; Appearances 69+(1); Goals 3 |
 | SAM HALL (midfield) DoB:
Young midfielder who signed from Hednesford Town in June 2009. A skilful and strong player, who has already attracted the attention of clubs much higher up in the pyramid, he really began to establish himself as a key player during the second half of the 2009/10 season, with a series of strong performaces. He carried this forward into the following season, winning admiration from fans and officials alike, resulting in him being awarded Manager's Player of the Year for 2010/11. As well as being assured on the ball, he possesses a potent long throw which the team has been able to use to great effect. He started his career at Burton Albion and progressed through their youth system. He spent most of the 2007/08 season on loan at Hednesford Town, before signing for them in June 2008 on his release from Burton. Debut: 18/08/2009 v Sheffield; Appearances 18+(1); Goals 5 |

 | STEVE INTIHAR (goalkeeper) DoB:
Steve played his first game for Kidsgrove in March 2007, when he was borrowed from Eccleshall as a stand in, just playing the one game at Woodley Sports. Eighteen months later, a similar situation arose, with him helping out to cover suspension, and he seized his opportunity to establish himself in the side after former first choice Adam Wilkes left in January 2009. He is now the undisputed holder of the number one shirt, a fact recongnised by his Most Improved Player Award at the end of the 2009/10 season. He had previously appeared for Biddulph Victoria.

Debut: 06/10/2009 v Mickleover Sports; Appearances 12; Goals 0 |
 | LIAM SHOTTON (forward) DoB:
Popular striker who first joined Kidsgrove from North West Counties side Norton United. After scoring a hat-trick on his home debut against Alsager he went on to score six goals in ten games at the end of the 2007/08 season. He had a brief spell at Nantwich Town but came back to Clough Hall in December 2008, scoring on his first game back. He spent a large part of the 2009/10 season on the bench due to the prolific Dave Walker and Matt Haddrell partnership, but still found the net 15 times to maintain an impressive goals to games return. This season, with Haddrell's departure to Congleton, Liam will be looking forward to becoming a first choice striker once more Debut: 22/03/2008 v Goole; Appearances 51+(1); Goals 37 |
 | DANNY SMITH (defender) DoB: 13/10/1986 Highly-rated right back who signed from Rocester in July 2008, where he had spent nearly a year having previously been with Nantwich Town.

 | DAVE WALKER (forward) DoB:
Signed from Nantwich Town in June 2009, where he scored 29 goals during the 2008/09 season, forging a productive partnership with ex-Kidsgrove frontman Michael Lennon. His impact at the Seddon Stadium was instant as he found the net seven times during the pre-season programme despite missing half the games with an ankle injury. He scored on his competitive debut for Kidsgrove and followed that up two matches later by scoring all the goals in a 5-0 thrashing of Spalding United, a feat he remarkably repeated later in the season in a 5-2 win over Leek Town. Despite missing a large number of games through injury, he was the top goalscorer in all the UniBond League divisions last season with 38 goals.

 | NICK WARD (defender) DoB: Powerful central defender who signed from rivals Leek Town in July 2010.

He has also played locally for Stone Dominoes and Rocester. Debut: 14/08/2010 v Stamford; Appearances; Goals 5 |
