Nine of our young players have not been offered terms to stay on beyond the end of the season.
Connor Malley and Rumarn Burrell are the two players with senior experience who will depart the club in June.Burrell made his first team debut at Brentford in the FA Cup in January 2020 and is currently on loan with Scottish Championship side Kilmarnock.
Midfielder Malley, who has had loan spells with Ayr and Carlisle and is currently at Gateshead, made his senior debut at Rotherham United last season and also featured in the Carabao Cup at Blackpool this term.
Harry Green and Malik Dijksteel, who are both on loan at Whitby Town, and Alberto Balde will also depart from the Under-23s squad.
In terms of U18s, Josh Marshall, Lucas Howe, Alex Hutchinson, and Jacob Bulmer have not been offered contracts.
The departing players will all benefit from the Academy Alumini Programme – a number have already played in trial matches for other clubs – and Academy manager Craig Liddle says the youngsters will retain the full support of the club.
“It’s never a nice thing having to let young players go, but we know and the lads know that it comes with the job,” he said.
“As part of what we do and the new programme, we will work closely with them to identify any potential opportunities and provide them with all the support they need going forward.”
