The likes of Chris Maxwell, Callum Connolly, James Husband, Jordan Thorniley, Kevin Stewart, Kenny Dougall, Keshi Anderson, CJ Hamilton, Shayne Lavery and Gary Madine are all under threat of leaving for nothing at the end of the campaign.
Speaking recently about Thorniley’s future, head coach Michael Appleton said any talk of a new deal will remain on the backburner for now to avoid any impact on his glowing performances.
Thankfully the likes of Dan Grimshaw, Marvin Ekpiteta, Jordan Gabriel, Sonny Carey and Jerry Yates are all tied down for the long term, as is new signing Andy Lyons.
