Gary McCann has updated us with regard to whether players who were with us at the end of last season are likely to be here for the new season. Of course we already know that Tom Lovelock, Casey Maclaren, Niko Muir, Arthur Lee, Sam Murphy and Matt Ball are already on board for the new campaign.

The only confirmed departures other than Khale Da Costa are Berkley Laurencin, Marcel Barrington and Elliott Charles who are expected to move on to pastures new. We thank all three for their efforts and wish them every success for the future.

Gary is hopeful that the remainder of the squad that ended last season with the club will be on board for the new campaign those players being Elliott Brathwaite, Keagan Cole, Andre Da Costa, Dave Diedhiou, James Harper, Kezie Ibe, Malachy McGovern, Chris Seeby, Reis Stanislaus, Luke Tingey and Mickey White, but of course things may change.

Gary also hopes to have some news of some new signings as we approach the beginning of pre-season, so watch this space.
