midfielder

English

midfielder (plural midfielders)

(sports) A player who operates behind the attackers and in front of the defence.
- 2011 October 1, Phil McNulty, “Everton 0 - 2 Liverpool”, in BBC Sport‎:
  The game was engulfed in controversy when Rodwell appeared to win the ball cleanly in a midfield challenge with Suarez. The tackle drew an angry response from Liverpool's players- Lucas in particular as Suarez writhed in agony - but it was an obvious injustice when the England Under-21 midfielder was shown the red card.
