Gary McCann confirmed this evening at the Supporters Association AGM that the squad that finished with us last season had all been invited back to training. So far, there have been just three players who have left. Jason O'Connor has left to take up a coaching course in the USA, Dean Coppard is expected to sign for Team Bath as he will be starting a course at Bath University in the autumn, and Dave Hunt has decided to move on to pastures new.

In terms of players signing, the only two confirmed arrivals are Iain Duncan and Kieran Gallagher. Mark Burgess is currently back training but does also have interest from other clubs, while another returning face to training is Byron Bubb. There are also a number of players who were released by pro clubs at the end of last season who are training. Signings will be announced once signatures have been secured.
