The season ended in heartbreak for Michael Carrick’s men, who were beaten by Coventry City in the semi-finals of the Championship play-offs. However, preparations for next season are already underway and the club’s retained list has been published.

Goalkeepers Joe Lumley and Luke Daniels are leaving the club, as are defenders Darnell Fisher and Grant Hall. The latter pair are both formerly of Rotherham United, with Hall having spent last season on loan at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.
