10. Striker: Benji Magee (Larne)
Benji Magee (22) was arguably the statement signing of the summer after swapping Loughgall for champions Larne and made an instant impact by providing the assist which helped the Inver Reds secure their Conference League spot. He has made six league appearances this season, scoring a maiden goal against his former side last month. Photo: PACEMAKER BELFAST

Chris McKee (22) began this season by scoring in Linfield's wins over Ballymena United and Loughgall and has made nine league appearances, but missed recent victories against Coleraine and Crusaders. He netted nine times in 28 league appearances last term. Photo: Andrew McCarroll/Pacemaker Press
