There’s no mention of Jon Obika but it is believed that his contract has ended.
The expected departures of Blair Spittal and Liam Kelly have been confirmed and the pair will be a major loss to the team. Kelly has been an ever present this season and beyond.
No doubt we’ll be hearing of new faces shortly.
