NB: stats do not include North Riding Cup tie with M'Boro, 2nd game of season.

Total appearances, ( +substitutes), goals, cautions, dismissals.

Mike Basham: 31 (+3), 2 goals, 9 cautions, 0 reds
Looked out of sorts in the first-half of the season when a number of costly lapses cost City dear.
However, recovered well to prove his worth in the latter stages and when he was assured and on his game so to were City.
Lacks pace but is there a better passer of the ball in the club?

Stephen Brackstone: 5 (+4), 0, 0, 0
After impressing in a couple of trial matches the Middlesbrough youngster was snapped up on a short-term deal.
Short of experience and muscle but that will come. Looks an intelligent player whose first instinct is to pass and move.

Chris Brass: 48 (+0), 4, 10, 0
A ready made captain, the skipper's desire can never be questioned.
As City's fortunes took a nose dive Brass, deployed in the centre of midfield, struggled to make a telling impact.
But dropping back into defence in the run-in saw Brass finish the season in impeccable form and it can be no coincidence his positional change coincided with City's upturn in fortunes.
On that form, hard to see him playing anywhere else next season.

Lee Bullock: 45 (+2), 9, 7, 0
One of the stars of the season.
A virtual ever-present, it was only ankle surgery that denied Bullock an impressive double-figure haul of goals for the season.
Possesses an impressive armoury - can shoot, tackle, head and pass - but perhaps just lacks the belief and confidence to dominate games.
However, he's been around so long it's easy to forget he is still only 20.
With the best is still to come, it was no surprise learn he was rewarded with a contract extension prior to Christmas.

Richard Cooper: 30 (+3), 1, 6, 0
Another youngster tasting his first real season as a senior squad member and acquitted himself well.
Never looked completely happy playing in a more advanced right-sided or central midfield role instead of his more accustomed right-back role.
However, warmed to the task as the season developed and provided some much needed bite in the City engine room.
His tenacity and will to win made him a firm favourite with the fans.

Kieran Darlow: 1 (+1), 0, 0, 0
His barnstorming debut against Halifax at the end of the 1999-2000 season as a 17-year-old now seems an age away.
Despite that sizzling show against the Shaymen, the fact he made just one start and one substitute appearance this season ensured it was perhaps not really a surprise when he was told he would not be offered a contract for next year.

Peter Duffield: 7 (+ 5), 3, 1, 0
Another luckless season for Duffield, who suffered the double whammy of two broken legs to add to the more serious double fracture he suffered last season.
However, it is testament to his character and fighting spirit that Duffield has refused to buckle at such disappointments.
And it is testament too to his rarely seen ability that despite such a horrible run of injuries he looks likely to be offered a new contract for next season.
Six goals in just 14 starts tells its own story but it was surely no coincidence that City played some of their best football of the season when Duffield was in the team.

Darren Edmondson: 40 (+ 2), 0, 11, 0
Edmondson remains an automatic choice in most City fans' eyes, and more importantly with Terry Dolan. His final ball and tendency to get in trouble with referees can sometimes be his downfall but he remains a fierce competitor and a crucial cog in the City machine
When absent, City miss his drive and willingness to get forward and when he's on his game so too are the Minstermen.

Scott Emmerson: 0 (+6), 0, 0, 0
After scoring such a vital match winning goal at Rochdale last season some big things were expected of the youngster this time around.
Such expectations were perhaps unfair and with his season disrupted by injuries he never made a senior start this season. Has not been offered a professional contract.

Michael Evans: 1 (+1), 0, 0, 0
Arrived on trial from Holland, the Dutchman was thrown in at the deep end when he made his debut in front of almost 10,000 fans at Hull City.
Dazzled with a few surging runs to suggest City had uncovered a gem and promptly started the next match against Luton.
However, suffered a hamstring injury and was withdrawn at half-time and was never to play for the Minstermen again.
His injury refused to clear-up and having signed only a month-long contract was not offered a new one.

Alan Fettis: 52 (0), 0, 0, 0
A second successive clean sweep of the player of the year awards says it all about Super Al. The fact this season he was pushed hard for the accolades by the likes of Michael Proctor and Lee Nogan merely underlines what a season he has had.

John Fielding: 11 (+ 0), 1, 1, 0
Handed a one-year deal last summer so manager Terry Dolan could properly assess the youngster's worth after the final year of his scholarship was spent battling injury.
In such circumstances, was not expected to make a major impact but became something of a surprise package when injuries started to bite and he enjoyed a run in the side.
Strong, resolute and uncompromising, he produced a number of fine displays until a few mistakes - expected for a rookie defender - started to prove costly.
Later suffered a bad ankle injury and while he has returned to reserve team action has failed to stake a claim for a first-team recall.

Christian Fox: 6 (+ 7), 0, 0, 0
His eagerly awaited second coming following major knee surgery never really found its feet.
Forced his way into the first-team at the start of autumn but lacked match fitness and was dispatched back to reserve team football.
It was thought it would only a be a temporary measure but it took a short-loan spell playing football in Ireland for Fox to really find his spark.
Now back in the fold, it must be hoped next season really does see the return to form and fortune for Fox.

Lee Grant: 0 (+1), 0, 0, 0
Believed to be the second youngest player ever to play a senior game for City, the 16-year-old Huntington School pupil made his debut in the final minutes of City's last home game of the season.
Hardly enough time to give the youngster an assessment, but showed some decent touches and is rated very highly by those in the know at Bootham Crescent

Gary Hobson: 18 (+ 2), 0, 1, 0
After his first season in City colours was decimated by injury, Hobson suffered better luck this time around, but only just.
When he did play, his experience and worth to the City cause was evident but glimpses were few and far between.

Matt Hocking: 35 (+4), 0, 6, 0
One of City's players of the year last time out, Hocking still found himself fighting to establish himself at the beginning of this campaign.
However, got better as the season went on and was one of City's most consistent performers. His distribution sometimes disappoints but his pace remains invaluable.

Russ Howarth: 2 (+1), 0, 0, 0
In the unusual position of having featured more times for his country than his club this season. (NB - 3 caps for England, if he appears at Scunny this sentence could change)
Capped three times for England Under-20s, Howarth made just one starting appearance this season, in the LDV Vans Trophy clash at Notts County. The fact he was man of the match in that game merely underlines his undoubted ability.
Out of contract in the summer, Howarth is still only 20 so has time on his side but whether he will be prepared to spend another season playing second fiddle to Alan Fettis remains to be seen.

Scott Jones: 7 (+1), 1, 1, 0

A superb loan acquisition. Has brought balance, experience, composure and quality to the City defence and working with Chris Brass and Stuart Wise in the run-in City possessed a formidable barrier.
Still has a year of his contract to run at Bristol Rovers but has made no secret of his desire to return north, it must be hoped City can come to some arrangement with the Pirates to acquire his services on a permanent basis.

Aidan O'Kane: 12 (+1), 0, 0, 0
A tentative but promising first season for the young Irishman. Still getting to grips with full-time professional football and the hurly-burly of Division Three.
Sometimes games seem to pass him by but is getting better the more he plays and brings balance to the left. Showed in pre-season an important eye for goal.

Mark Maley: 14 (+ 3), 0, 3, 1
Signed on loan from Sunderland but rarely showed his Premiership potential.
Not helped by the fact he had just recovered from a serious thigh injury when he arrived at Bootham Crescent, nor by the fact he was often asked to play left-back as opposed to his preferred right-back role.

Alex Mathie: 11 (+ 14), 2, 0, 0
Another season blighted by injury.
Although he managed to rid himself of the problems by Christmas was always playing catch-up in terms of match fitness.
His effort could not be faulted but he struggled to convince the fans as he battled to regain his sharpness.
Must be keeping his fingers crossed for an injury free summer and pre-season.

Lee Nogan: 47 (+ 2), 13, 5, 0
Another star of the season in which he passed the landmark of 100 League goals.
Tireless worker, instigator and fulcrum around much of City's brightest moments pivot.
Thirteen goals marks a healthy return too and his part in aiding Michael Proctor's development should not be underestimated.

Jon Parkin: 18 (+0) 2, 2, 0
Further proof of Terry Dolan's eye for a player.
Signed from Barnsley on loan initially before the move was made permanent, Parkin looks a useful acquisition given that he can play up front or in defence.
The jury remains out on just where his best position is, but that in itself is a positive because he has not looked out of place wherever he has played.
Gives the side some much needed height and muscle.

Graham Potter: 44 (+0), 4, 4, 0
Sometimes infuriates because for all his undoubted ability fails to impose himself enough on opponents and games.
However, like fellow wing-back Edmondson, Potter remains an automatic choice because when he is on song so too are City and when he is absent the Minstermen miss his supply line from the left.

Michael Proctor: 48 (+1), 14, 6, 0
Top scorer with 14 goals and must have pushed Alan Fettis close in the end of season awards.
Brought a much needed spark and cutting edge to the Minstermen ranks and when he was absent it was no coincidence City could look toothless.
If there is one criticism, he perhaps didn't score enough goals that his talent demanded and needs to be even more ruthless in front of goal.
However, Minstermen fans everywhere must be hoping we haven't seen the last of Proctor in a City shirt.

Ben Rhodes: 0 (+1), 0, 0, 0
A third year trainee, he made just one fleeting substitute appearance at Darlington prior to Christmas. Rhodes has not been offered a contract for next season.

Nick Richardson: 20 (+ 6), 1, 1, 0
Never a first-choice but that was probably never the intention when he was offered a one-year deal last summer.
Proved a useful and experienced squad player to call on when injuries bit but was steady rather than spectacular.

Marc Salvati: 1 (+ 7), 1, 0, 0

Of the four youth team players shown the door at the end of the season, Salvati's exit was perhaps the biggest surprise.
A winger in the traditional mould, looked to have scored with his first touch in senior football against Luton only for the goal to be declared offside.
Did score on his full debut at Carlisle in the next game and then enjoyed a run in the squad if not the actual starting line-up.
With a small squad, Dolan admitted he needs players pushing for starting places for next season and so Salvati was not offered a contract.

Chris Smith: 15 (+ 3), 1, 1
Promising first year for Smith.
He may not have established himself as a first choice starter but when called on never let anyone down.
Likes to play the ball out of defence and was outstanding against his former club Reading in the FA Cup. Can only get better.

Neville Stamp: 7 (+1), 0, 0
Seen his season decimated by injury, his bad luck was summed up earlier this month when he returned to the reserves after a lengthy hamstring problem only to suffer an ankle injury that forced his withdrawal.
With his contract running out in the summer there must be a question mark over his future at the club.

Stuart Wise: 3 (+3), 0, 1, 0
His emergence in the final third of the season has been a major plus point for City.
Still only 17, an unflappable Wise has belied his tender years with a series of performances packed with pace and power.
Must have played his way into Dolan's first-team plans for next season, although no doubt the City manager will be anxious not to raise expectation levels too high.

Leigh Wood: 12 (+2), 0, 3, 0
Another gem that has emerged from the City youth team. After a handful of first team appearances last season that showcased his potential, Wood only re-merged in the second-half of this season.
Cool, calm and collected, he glides through games with elegance and now looks like an established first-team player.
It was no surprise when he was rewarded with a professional contract.

*Marc Thompson, who has been told his contract will not be renewed for next season, trainees John Collinson, Graeme Law and Levent Yalcin were named as substitutes on at least one occasion this season but failed to make an appearance.
