Retained lists and released players

[pip_y]

Salford

Club captain Ash Eastham and club stalwart Jason Lowe are amongst those who will be departing The Peninsula Stadium following the expiry of their contracts at the end of June.

Ash made 93 appearances across all four of our seasons in the Football League, and captained us to our first piece of EFL silverware at Wembley when we lifted the Papa Johns Trophy in March 2021. This season appearances have been limited for the 32-year-old due to injury, but we wish Ash and his family all the very best for the future.

Lowey was signed in 2020 as we embarked upon our second season in the Football League, and was a near ever-present in his first two seasons. He scored the winning penalty in the Papa Johns Trophy Final shootout against Portsmouth, and in 2021-22 won both the Players’ Player of the Season and the Salford City PFA Community Champion awards.

He made 125 appearances as a right back, central midfielder or a centre back, scoring twice including a memorable long-range goal away at Hartlepool United in March 2022. Our best wishes go to Jason and his family, and good luck with what comes next for you.

Personally I think Morrison is a sized beast of a player….. big gamble but our “King” has left so we need a colossus at the back and within our budget Morrison fits that bill.

When we were over and shopped there I couldn't believe the bill! Then again none of Asda, Tesco, the Co-op, Aldi, Lidl seemed much better

Apart from the playoff finalists I’ve not seen anything from Cardiff, Norwich, Sheffield Utd, Sunderland, Watford & Peterborough.

Reading this thread makes you realise how many players are involved in Pro football, and how many will be looking for a new employer.
For most EfL players it's a short and at times, precarious career, you can understand why people like Smith go for one last big pay deal.

[Godsend.F.C.]

I fully expect Grant Hall to sign end of June early July.
Not so sure about Morrison - he may be considering any other offers.
Tyler Blackett - I don`t expect him to sign.
Josh Vickers - I expect him to leave.
Quite a few contracted players to move out if they`re agreeable & the right clubs out there.

Apparently Peterborough have a policy of transfer listing all players in the final year of their contracts.
