LB: Josh Ruffels
250 appearances/14 goals
2013-present
Like Eastwood, Ruffels is a current player at Oxford United.
The 26-year-old, who was born in Oxford, actually came through the ranks at Coventry City but made just two appearances in three years for the Sky Blues.
In 2013, Ruffels joined his boyhood club and made 35 appearances for the League Two side under Wilder.
Despite not being a regular under Wilder or Appleton, the midfielder was known as a consistent and professional player. He won promotion to League One with the U’s in 2015/16.
But during the 2017/18 season, the midfielder reverted to left-back and has made the position his own. Since then, he has made over 120 appearances and has become one of the first names on the team sheet.
During his time at the club, Ruffels also won the Young Player of the Year and Supporters Player of the Year and is in the top 30 appearance holders at Oxford.
