Trio sign new deals
Jimmy Ryan, Phil Edwards and Chris Turner have all put pen to paper on new two year deals this afternoon, ensuring that they will start the season as Accrington Stanley players in 2009/10.

Midfielder Jimmy Ryan joined Stanley last summer following his release from Shrewsbury Town, making 47 appearances and going on to become our leading goalscorer with ten goals, many of them spectaclar strikes from distance. He showed himself as something of a free kick specialist and was many people's player of the season last year.

Defender Phil Edwards was at the heart of our defence in every first team match last season, including all 46 league games, both of our FA Cup fixtures and the Carling Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy matches. He has been at the club since October 2005, and was a key member of our Nationwide Conference winning season.

Chris Turner graduated from our youth team, signing a first year pro contract last summer. The winger got his opportunity for a start this January after John Mullin picked up an injury in the warm up, and took his chance to earn his stake for a regular spot in the team.

All three players will now join up with the rest of the squad on Monday morning for the start of pre-season training.



2 Year deals, that is great :) If the worst does come then we may end up getting cash for them.....

Re: Players Sign Up
 

That's fantastic news for the club. It's a real bonus they have all signed two year deals. Things really starting to take shape at the moment. Can someone now provide an updated list of players who are contracted.

I'm assuming a goalkeeper and striker will now be the priority signings.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I think Mullin, Mullin, Miles, Murphy, McConville, Edwards, Turner, Ryan, Ami, Joyce, Grant, Winnard, Procter and Burton... Must have missed some..

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Praise be.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Phil Edwards is the best footballer at the club and Jimmy Ryan had a great season last time out. I'm amazed, yet delighted to have kept them.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Top news! Phil should now be given the captaincy IMO.

Valairian I don't think all those you mention (Proccy for example) have signed on the dotted yet......

.....but maybe this news will encourage them to do so!

Team takes shape for 2009/10
The Accrington Stanley squad is starting to take shape for next season, with John Miles putting pen to paper today and Andrew Procter agreeing a deal to keep him at the club.
Stanley manager John Coleman is currently finalising negotiations with Ian Dunbavin to keep him at the club, at the moment the only registered goalkeeper following the departure of Kenny Arthur to Rochdale.


Hear what you are saying, it does not say he has signed......:):):)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Brilliant news that these three have signed - let's hope it opens the floodgates for the others who have reportedly agreed their own deals. Things are definately looking rosier :)
