full-backs
Wide defensive players
Full-backs are defensive players in football (soccer) positioned on the left and right sides of the back line.
They defend against opposing wingers and increasingly join attacks down the flanks: Modern full-backs need pace and stamina to get up and down the pitch.
The singular is full-back.
In rugby and American football, a fullback (one word) is a different position entirely.
