Pools say they have offered new contracts to defender David Ferguson, midfielder Nathan Sheron and forward duo Mani Dieseruvwe and Joe Grey.

With talk of off-field issues still dominating the headlines at the Prestige Group Stadium, Pools belatedly announced details of their retained list ahead of Saturday's deadline.

News that four key players have been offered new deals will come as a welcome piece of positive news for supporters, as will confirmation the club have activated options in the contracts of Jamie Miley, Jack Hunter, Campbell Darcy and Louis Stephenson.

Pools have also revealed they 'remain in ongoing contract discussions' with Dan Dodds and Josh Mazfari-but have also confirmed ten players have now departed the club after their current deals came to a close.

Club captain Luke Waterfall and talented midfielder Anthony Mancini are the most eye-catching names on that list and they are joined by experienced striker Gary Madine, goalkeeper Joel Dixon and defensive duo Emmanuel Onariase and Jack Robinson.
