Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good to see Alex Henderson has signed a three year contract.
I understand that Jay Rich-Baghelou has one more year on contract.
Any more information and notice of players contracts would be good to know about…….?

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Brilliant news about Henderson :)

Would like to see more of the young kids signing up, like Martin, Woods, O'Brien, to name three :)

Cannot afford the likes of J.R.B., Pritchard, who do not play (or enough) :(

Quirk has another season...

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Just looked at websites for Norwich (Brad Hills and Lewis Shipley) and QPR (Joe Gubbins) ……..Brad and Lewis have contracts at Norwich until 1925. Joe had a three year contract which finishes this summer. I hope that we can make an approach to sign Joe permanently and approach Norwich for a second loan season with us for Brad and Lewis. Along with Connor O’Brien, the find of the season, I think that our defence became a pretty good set in the last third of the season.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Best wishes to Sean MacConville who has been an absolute legend for the Stanley. I hope that he can stay in the game in the North West as he has so much to offer. Good luck Sean and many thanks.❤️:theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Add Shaun to the list.......

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Great to read that.
Shaun’s played over 90 games these last two seasons and looked just as lively in the last game as in his first.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good news, Dan and Ben MUST learn everything they can next season :)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Fantastic news that Connor has signed. Best news of the week for me.
Mrs. Exile and I were just discussing him and just looked up the Fishy!

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good news :)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

great news conner has signed a deal to me.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Didn't realise that Connor is only 16 years old! Turns 17 in July this year.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

He is 19 Crown Grounder.... :)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Oh dear......thanks for the info Val. I got his DOB from the Internet....which stated 2007 as his year of birth. Obviously that was wrong....thanks for correcting me.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Bit surprised at releasing Oliver Riva from the U18s, thought he looked a good prospect when I saw him. Good luck to all the young lads, whether retained or not.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

We can add Liam Coyle to the list, he's signed a,new 2 year deal :)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

And a new keeper, Michael Kelly - signed from Mk Dons, busy day at Stanley

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

And Tyler Walton, a winger, from Southport:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Shrewsbury said to be interested in signing Toby Savin

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Sky Sports are reporting that an "un-named league 1 club" have agreed a,fee with us for Tommy Leigh

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Imps Fans on X saying interest being shown for Tommy.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Have also seen rumours about League 1 clubs (Orient?) sniffing around Jack Nolan.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

As much as I like Tommy, he has not reached his potential and has not been the same player for ages now....

Might be due to several things, but if he goes and we get a few quid, so be it....

I am much more excited about Connor and Alex signing up - the kids are the way for us.....

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

His best season for us by miles last year, doubt he will kick on from that - just my opinion.

See above re-Tommy :)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Burton Albion?
https://thedeck.news/burton-albion-s...wo-midfielder/

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good luck to him, but am somewhat underwhelmed by that news.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Did really well for us when he first came but he seemed to lose interest of late. Think his head was turned when Portsmouth showed the interest but then it stalled. Good luck anyway Tommy and thanks.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Agree completely :)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

On Burton's forum, there's even talk of Coley joining Tommy:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I read Jack Nolan being connected with Gillingham.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Two new signings!

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

These were all announced last week

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Andy Holt saying on Twitter today that its unlikely either Tommy Leigh or Jack Nolan will be with the club next season.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Will be sorry to see Jack move on. Thought he gave it a really good go last season and with the experience he gained i was looking forward to see him pushing on further this season.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Sorry to see Jack Nolan go - and a little surprised its Gillingham. Thought a league one outfit would have come for him.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Agree on both counts. I saw something a few weeks ago suggesting Orient were interested and thought a move to League 1 would have been right for him.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good luck to Jack, bit of a sidewards step but not sure he's up to league 1 level yet & no doubt his wages will be bigger & he'll be nearer to his family

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Gillingham fan here. Not come here to gloat but always interested in what the fans thought of players we sign. We really lacked pace and goals last season. Nolan scored a very good number for you last season. Is he a true winger or someone he plays more centrally as well. Is he a pacey player ?

I think most of us felt he might move up a league as well but with new ownership we are different club these days. I suspect he's been tempted by a decent wage (in the same way Ness left Crewe to join us) and its a move that bit closer to home given his Southampton/Reading roots.

Good luck next season.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Gutted to see Ros Longelo leave us, brilliant player if he can stay injury free - best of luck to him for the future

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Not seen that and agree, not good.... :(

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Striker



https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...jimmy-knowles/

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

A shame we could not keep him, could not have been on a massive wage?!?!!?

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I hope that all this potential realises......

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Great news......very promissing.....

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

He's been retweeting Sutton United but it may be he knows people there.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Jimmy and Kelsey-THIS IS SERIOUSLY GREAT.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Appears to have signed for Swindon

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Correct my friend :)

https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news...saire-longelo/

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Disappointed to see another player going to a rival League 2 side. Presume it's money and can't blame them for that. Just hope the two lads from Boston are ready for the step up.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Am i right in thinking that of those that were out of contract and were offered new deals theres only Savin and Pritchard to make a decision one way or the other ?

Or were their offers time constrained and as they havnt signed you have to assume that theyve decided not to and we can expect to hear that theyve gone elsewhere anytime now.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

You are right.
Of the ‘offered deals’, Whalley, Conneely and O’Brien have signed, Nolan and Longelo have gone elsewhere, and we await Savin and Pritchard.
At the last “fans’ forum” it was suggested that players offered deals had a week to respond but I suspect what that meant was that John & Ged would not start looking for ‘replacements’ for a week. I assume the offers will stay open until they are not.:rolleyes:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

There's Tommy Leigh as well, no news either way from him as far as I can remember

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Contract triggered ;)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Correct :)

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...retained-list/

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Yeah, but doesn't he get to decide if he signs it or not?

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I think not :confused:

Anybody can go - obviously - but it will be on our terms... I think??

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I agree Val. If we stick out for a "high figure" which I think we should we may get to keep him until the January window....when other teams may be keener to sign him?

All depends on the new management duo's approach.....with Jack gone already...perhaps he'll be allowed to go now? Guess we'll know soon with the window open today.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

We've today lost another goal scoring midfielder. We have signed two lads from Boston who, whatever their last season's success in National League North, have to step up two divisions, as did Matt Lowe, and are unknown quantities at this level. Who is going to supply them and, absent Tommy and Jack, who is going to supplement their goals from midfield? As things stand I am worried.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Lots have changed at Stanley but one thing that hasn’t is the fact we, and the managers, probably won’t know who’s in the squad until very, very close to the start of the season (if not after it’s started).
But, we’ve got Alex Henderson, Ben Woods, Shaun Whalley and Dan Martin as attacking midfielders.
My concern is more about the defence where, unless another nugget like Brad Hills is unearthed, we need some experience and physicality to supplement Seb Quirk and Jay Rich-Baghuelou.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I was worried on the 3rd March.....

Last season's goals:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Toby Savin off to the Shrews. Good luck to him.

So only Joe Pritchard, of those offered deals, remains to decide where he plays next season.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...rewsbury-town/

Wish Toby all the best, good lad and did his best always :)

Whilst Joe has bags of ability, he just does not spend enough time on the pitch.....

I would not be sad to see him leave, unless he can play 40+ games per season :)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

A familiar face on the pictures.... :)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Wish Toby all the best.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Let’s not forget that when we had the much - lauded James Trafford on loan, Toby kept him out of the team

Good luck to the lad


:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

So Joe has now officially gone too, to Franchise fc of all places - sad news :(

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

So only Joe Pritchard, of those offered deals, remains to decide where he plays next season.[/QUOTE]

Heard on the Grapevine yesterday that a a recent ex-Stanley player currently in the Southport area has said that Joe has already moved south and is not based in the Nort West anymore.......presumably if true we'll no more after the end of June......when contracts officially end for players.....

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Sorry AccyMad didn't see your post.....

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good luck to him, but I am not that sad.

Shaun and Seamus are far better to be staying at the Club :)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Of the seven ‘out of contract’ players you missed the most important one of the three that have resigned for Stanley …..Connor O’Brien.

Good luck to Joe.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

We just never seem to trust home-grown goalkeepers (especially if their names end in AVIN) :(

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Is the talented Emerich Poilly still with the Stanley. I hope so as I believe he is ready for some first team exposure.:mosher:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Invited back for pre season training according to the retained list.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Thanks ‘Lost in Cornwall’. That is good news IMHO!:jimbo::alright:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Might be worth a visit to the official website !!

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good footballer is Joe, enjoyed watching him when fully in his stride but never seemed to regain full fitness from his lengthy injuries before he picked up another one.
Good luck though Joe.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Connor is one for the future, Shaun and Seamus are for now;)

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Popoola has signed first contract :)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good news to secure some experience at the back.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...s/ck7g13kr1rwo

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Agree with you Exile. His experience will be good to have. I liked him when he played on loan with us a few years ago.:theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Yes, I remember him too.
And did I hear it correctly that Stanley gave him a League 2 winners medal for his previous efforts for the club? Nice gesture.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Another “Awesome” (;)) addition to the defence.
Welcome to Zach.

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...joins-on-loan/

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

This lad looks to be a really good prospect.:theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I make that:

21 Contracted Players plus 1 loan signing, of which we have 1 Keeper (Michael Kelly) and 7 under 21 with a contract. Not sure how the 20 year old Loan Signing is treated under EFL rules? If they are included in the "22" player limit, then we have room for another (22 minus keeper minus 7 = 14) Which means 8 more players. Anyone else been counting? (Wages budget allowing)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Thought he played well in the first half

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Agree AccyMad! Zach was strong, skilful, calm and controlled.:theband:

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Another summer signing incoming apparently - will it be Trialist A, B, C or D??

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Well that was soon answered, defender Donald Love formerly of Morecambe on a 2 year contract - welcome aboard

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

I wonder if Ash Hunter will make it a trio of ex-Shrimps?

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Has he featured in any of the pre-season games??

:)

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Wonder why Zach Awe hasn't featured in the last two games?

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Apparently he played against Barnsley on Saturday

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Good to get some more experience in defence. Welcome to Stanley, Donald.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Pleased that both Faz and Love have gout themselves new deals BUT our experience of Love is that he is far better in midfield than he is at full back and that he tended to make mistakes in defence and that when the going gets tough he blames all those around him never accepting responsibility for his mistakes.

However in Faz you have a gem of a player and i for one wish that person well...except when he faces his former club.

Re: Contracted players for season2024/25
 

Great! Just what we need, another 2 signings who'll spend all season on the physios bench. :D
