We can now confirm the club's Retained List following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. 

Captain Ben Garrity has been offered a new contract, while Connor Hall and Ryan Croasdale have triggered an extension to their respective deals which will see them remain at the club in 2026/27.  

Seven players from our 2024/25 promotion-winning squad - Ben Amos, Mitch Clark, Ben Heneghan, Jesse Debrah, Sam Hart, Ben Lomax and Funso Ojo - will leave the club this summer, while Arron Davies, Tyler Magloire, Grant Ward and Andre Gray have also been released.  

Loanees Joe Gauci, Eli Campbell, Ethon Archer, Dajaune Brown and Martin Sherif, will all return to their parent clubs. 

A further four of the 19 players under contract with the club have been made available for transfer, while Onel Hernandez has been given an out-of-contract offer to train with the Valiants in pre-season.  

All departing players leave with the sincere thanks and best wishes of everyone associated with the club.
