CRAIG Lingard has named his 19-man squad to face Doncaster on Sunday, when up to nine players could make their debuts for Cougars as they begin their defence of the League One Cup.

Sean Kelly is included, meaning he is in line to make his first competitive appearance for Keighley since the knee injury he suffered in May 2015 against the Oldham Roughyeds.

Co-captain James Feather comes into the season needing 13 appearances for 300 in red, white and green, while fellow skipper Brendon Rawlins is included as he begins his testimonial year.

Matthew Bailey (calf), Nathan Conroy (ankle), Adam Brook (rib) and Ben Sagar (hamstring) all miss out.

Cougars: Andy Gabriel, Danny Lawton, Davey Dixon, Matty Beharrell, Scott Law, James Feather, Josh Lynam, Brendon Rawlins, Mike Emmett, Neil Cherryholme, Will Milner, Josh Tonks, Nathan Kitson, Emmerson Whittel, Ritchie Hawkyard, Fran Welsh, Sean Kelly, Brad Nicholson, Adam Ryder.
