In the Blackpool squad, Callum Connolly, Marvin Ekpiteta, James Husband, Shayne Lavery, Matty Virtue and Richard O’Donnell are all coming to an end of their current deals. Meanwhile, both Sonny Carey and Mackenzie Chapman are in similar positions, with additional one-year options available for the pair.
As well as dealing with which of their own players they’d like to retain, the Seasiders should also be looking at the situations of others in the third tier of English football.
