Away from the pitch, it's important for them to find ways of switching off - Leif Davis loves a flight simulator, while Azor Matusiwa cherishes his family time and George Hirst dotes on his dogs.
For defender Darnell Furlong, his distraction is cars - very fast ones.

The 30-year-old is a huge Formula One fan, and uses that as his way of forgetting about football for a bit.
Speaking recently about the sport, which returned for the 2026 season at the start of the month, he said: "A lot of changes, massive changes to the regulations, which spices up the sport a little bit. But I'm just really glad it's back.
“It's nice to have it on the weekend to switch off and get away from football. I love the sport and I'll be definitely watching as much of it as I can.”
Asked if he was a Mercedes fan - Brit George Russell being among the early pacesetters - he replied: “I've always been a Lewis (Hamilton) fan, so wherever Lewis has been, I've kind of followed him.
“But Mercedes are doing a great job and got some great drivers. So I'd like to see a few of the different guys doing well in that. But Lewis is definitely my favourite.”

Of Hamilton's chances this season, he opined: "Ferrari have struggled with their car the last few years.
"So, hopefully these new regulations they've nailed and he can have a good season."
Indeed, such is Furlong's knowledge, he can even recognise various tracks just from listening to the sound of the car... as Town shared on social media earlier today 🔽
