leaguer
Player on roster
Leaguer has two distinct sources.
One means a member of a league—someone participating in an organized group, especially in sports: a little leaguer, a major leaguer.
The other, now archaic, refers to a military siege or the camp of a besieging army: The leaguer lasted through winter.
The membership sense dominates modern usage.
