WARRINGTON Town have confirmed that at least 14 of the squad that reached the Northern Premier League play-off final will remain at the club.
They have issued their retained and released list ahead of the new campaign, which kicks-off on August 13.
A total of 11 players, including skipper Mark Roberts and strikers Josh Amis and Jordan Buckley, have agreed terms for next season.
Long-serving Bohan Dixon and Mitch Duggan, midfielders Jay Harris and Sean Williams, and defender Evan Gumbs will also remain in Yellow.
Matthew McDonald, who played just once in an injury-hit campaign, remains along with Luke Duffy and recent signing Michael Howard.
Injured trio Jack Mackreth, Dom Reid and Mo Ali, who suffered a season-ending injury back in September, are all continuing their injury rehab with the club.
Defender Matt Regan and midfielder Ben Hough have left to join Ashton United, despite being offered new deals by the Yellows, and they have been joined by James Baillie, who was released.
Left-back Lewis Coulton has returned to Preston following his loan spell, and reserve goalkeeper Josh Ollerenshaw has also departed.
That just leaves five players’ futures to be confirmed.
Goalkeeper Dan Atherton, who played 49 of the 50 games last season, is considering terms, as is midfielder Stefan Mols.
Left-back Eddie Clarke and midfielder Matthew Grivosti have fielded offers from elsewhere and are unlikely to be at Cantilever Park next season.
Winger Isaac Buckley-Ricketts, who moved to the Yellows on loan from Southport for the final third of the campaign, has also been offered a deal.
Meanwhile, the Yellows were shortlisted for the Northern Premier League Club of the Year award.
They finished runners-up to eventual winners Stamford at the NPL’s end of season presentation awards in Birmingham at the weekend.
Warrington Town season tickets and new shirts are now on sale for the new season via the club’s official website.
