Five of last season's squad are confirmed to be staying, including skipper Jay McCarten.

Manager Paul Carden moved quickly to assure supporters that he is doing everything he can to keep as many of his key players as possible.

"It’s obviously disappointing to lose players like Jack, but we have to move on," he said.

"We’ve tightened our belts for sure, but we’ll get players in because that’s what happens in football. I’ve had lads on the phone to me wanting to come.

"It’s happened to bigger clubs with better players. That’s just the way it is.

"We are doing everything we can."
