contract expiries

by Brogue » 02 Sep 2026 11:13

Here is a list of players who's contracts expire at the end of the season. You would imagine talks should start progressing in the next month or two with the players we wish to keep.

so who out of this lot would you offer a new contract to, and which would you try and cash in on in jan/release next summer

im sure there might be academy players that are expiring too, but i aint looking all them up, so this is just the players in the first team squad .

Jack Stevens
Ashqar Ahmed
Connor Masterson
Jeriel Dorsett
Andy Rinomhota
Liam Fraser
Charlie Savage
Daniel Kyerewaa
Randell Williams

Ahmed worth keeping, and Savage if he is interested in staying. Rinomhota and Williams need to prove themselves but could well be good enough. The rest will probably leave.

Ahmed the only one I'd be approaching desperate to keep out of that little lot due to potential sell on value. Maybe Kyerewaa as an impact sub/squad player and Rinomhota, if he can rediscover some form.

Assuming Savage wouldn't renew, even if he was offered a deal.

Jack Stevens -He can go, we need a keeper that actually has a chance of getting the No 1 spot
Ashqar Ahmed - Get him signed up to a long term contract ASAP
Connor Masterson - See how he does, might be gone in Jan
Jeriel Dorsett - Needs to kick on, there's a decent League One Centre Back in there somewhere, not a Left Back
Andy Rinomhota - See how he does up to Christmas, new contract if he performs
Liam Fraser - He can go now
Charlie Savage - Offer a new deal, if he wont sign we have to sell in Jan
Daniel Kyerewaa - I'd offer a new deal now & hope he learns how to cross/shoot
Randell Williams - See what division we are in next year, I'd give him another year in League One

I think I’d wait until near the end of the season before making the judgement.

well lets hope the club doesn't take the same stance.. We don't want any player(s) we actually want to keep going into the last 6 months of their contract without a deal on the table. Decisions need to be made now.

The right approach for players like Williams, but for proper high potential you move now. That means getting Ahmed signed up, and putting out the feelers with Savage (sign him up or find a deal in January).

Maybe not relevant for all the players here, but iirc the compensation rules for youngsters are different if a contract offer has been made.

They will have a rough idea of who they want to extend, conversations probably haven't started yet but expect they would around October time with an aim for it to be clear to all by Jan if individual players will extend/want to extend or move on/be moved on.

Ahmed is the only one who looks as though his value could increase over the coming season so worth taking a chance on him.
The consensus was that Savage would leave now and if LR keeps on leaving him out of the starting eleven he will probably be off in January.

Otherwise am not fussed about the rest.

Yeah basically. I don’t mind Fraser but certainly wouldn’t be sad to see go. Needs to improved to get another contract

No to DK. We can do better, he doesn’t offer enough. Give him the season here and if he improves have a look again after Xmas. But currently I’d be happy to see him go.

Ahmed - yes

Rinomhota and Williams - yes if they can stay fit and contribute.

Savage - ordinarily yes but something's not right. Either he wants to leave or Richardson doesn't rate him. Would be interesting to see what would happen if Richardson got the boot before Christmas.

Masterson - not seen enough to judge but a tentative maybe. Would also depend on how Knight does.

The rest. Really not bothered either way

Yeah, it’s a fair point.

Sure someone (probs brogue) said there was a contract on the table for Savage but he wanted to explore his options.
