One to Watch

Morgan Whittaker

After spending the League One title-winning season on loan at Plymouth, Morgan Whittaker was signed on a permanent basis this summer from Swansea City.

The 22-year-old began his career with Derby County, coming through their Academy before eventually moving on to Swansea in 2021.

The Manager

Steve Schumacher

After coming through the Everton set-up without making a senior appearance for the club, Steve Schumacher would go on to have a career with almost 500 appearances.

Schumacher first arrived to the south-west as assistant to Ryan Lowe but took the top job when Lowe was recruited by Preston North End in December 2021.

After 13 years away, he guided them back to the Championship last season.
