Young striker Andy Pugh has also been offered a new deal despite being down the pecking order this season.

The club have also taken up the option to extend the contracts of striker Luis Cumbers and defender Tom Wynter for another year.

Winger Albert Jarrett, meanwhile, has been offered the chance to earn a contract when the players resume pre-season training.

The only second year youth scholar to receive a deal is midfielder Luke Rooney, but left-back Rimmel Daniel has been invited back for pre-season.
