Brett McGavin has been confirmed as staying for another two years whilst Matt Gould will continue in his dual role next season too

The midfielder ended the season as captain in the absence of Jake Wannell and Luke McCormick.

Both Wannell and McCormick remain contracted to the Glovers for next season as do Joy Mukena, Dan Ellison, Ryan Jones and James Daly.

The option attached to the contract of Jonathon Page has not been taken up and as such he will also be heading to pastures new.

Jacob Maddox, Charlie Cooper and Tahvon Campbell will leave after spending the latter part of the season out on loan.

Speaking of loanees, Jed Ward, Dak Mafico, Troy Perrett, Will Merry, Delano McCoy-Splatt, Terrell Works, Josh Tobin and Millar Matthews-Lewis officially see their temporary spells come to an end and we wish them well in their careers.

Two new deals in as mamy minutes at Huish Park.

Matt Gould, has penned a new deal with Yeovil to continue his dual role as player and Goalkeeper coach.

Gould has made two competitive first team appearances, one in the SMPC and the other coming on in the final minutes of the final game of the season against Solihull.

Yeovil Town midfielder Brett McGavin has signed a new two-year deal at Huish Park.

McGavin’s contract was initially going to come to an end this summer, but Billy Rowley has sought to extend the deal for the next two campaigns.

McGavin won the Glovie for Player of the Year in the 2024/25 season and finished this current campaign as captain with both Jake Wannell and Luke McCormick missing through injury.

The former Torquay man is closing in on 100 league appearances in Green and White and will surely cross that threshold soon enough.

Congratulations on the new deal, here’s to a few more worldies!

Yeovil Town owner Prabhu Srinivasan has predicted a major turnover of players at Huish Park this summer saying that he expects manager Billy Rowley to begin with “almost a clean slate.

The chairman said the club would release a list of the players it was seeking to retain “shortly” and said he will give the boss “a reasonably big budget” to rebuild for next season.

Following the conclusion of the National League Premier Division season, the Glovers have just six players under contract for next season – defenders Jake Wannell, Joy Mukena and Dan Ellison and forwards Luke McCormick, Ryan Jones and James Daly.

Speaking to BBC Somerset reporter Jack Killah on Wednesday, the owner said: “The good thing is we almost have a clean slate. We’ll give you the retention list shortly, but it’s almost a clean slate and we want to make sure we augment Billy’s requirements on the pitch with a reasonably big budget.

Last week, he revealed the club had already appointed a Sporting Director for next season, describing the appointee as someone “has operated at Football League level.” The identity of the individual is still unknown.

The owner said his “intent” was still to secure promotion back to the Football League and added that the ownership group would focus its attentions on-the-field rather than making buying back Huish Park and surrounding land its top priority. Last September, owners Somerset Council confirmed that it had extended the ownership group’s exclusive rights to buy-back the land by two years.

On the potential buy-back, Prabhu said: “I think the council’s been very accommodating and been an open book with us. We have a buy-back till May 2028 and we want to get the stadium back as soon as we can, but again we’re just doing the balancing act of where the money goes first. Right now the money has to go into building a team for the pitch.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, I would say about 7 in terms of being priority in our mind, but we have to do the balancing act. The things we have done from an infrastructure perspective, we got the floodlights put up, which is EFL standard. We’re getting an entire drainage system set up right now as we speak, which will be EFL standard. We’re also doing a lot of refurb within the stadium to make sure that it’s EFL ready. Some stuff like locker rooms and restrooms, we need to make sure it’s EFL ready.

We will do a lot of investments, but again we have to balance the act of giving more player budget for Billy versus what we need to do for the infrastructure. We will do that balancing act, but yes, we will make some investments in the stadium. The big one is the drainage system.”

The owner also spoke about the “clean up operation” that had taken place both on and off-the-pitch at Huish Park since his Inflection Holdings group completed its takeover from former owner, Martin Hellier, last May. He described the strain on the club’s financial position as “fairly high” following the takeover, adding he now saw “light at the end of the tunnel.

Mark Cooper was sacked in August after the club picked up just four points from their opening five matches this season. Picture courtesy of Iain Morland.

Having sacked manager Mark Cooper at the end of August, the club saw the coming and rapid going of Danny Webb, the short-lived appointment of Richard Dryden before the appointment of current boss Billy Rowley in November.

Prabhu said: “I can just say it was Operation Clean Up. Everybody understands inheritance tax and we’ve had to pay a lot of inheritance tax for buying this club. There were many skeletons in the cupboard, so we had to do a lot of clean up. I think we started breathing easy from November when we got Billy on board, but before that there was a lot of stuff which we needed to clean up in the back end.

We were just reacting to situations rather than being proactive. I’ve said this before, we just stayed away from what we needed to do fundamentally because we had to do a lot of clean up. Which most people don’t see on the pitch, there’s a lot of work which happened on the back end. There were past debts, we had to deal with the players we had, we had to deal with the managers we had before, and it was not easy.

We had to take some really hard calls and I’m glad we took them and I’m glad I went and saw Billy where he was manager before (at Walton & Hersham). I had to see him on the pitch what he did with the team, and that’s what clicked for all of us, and I’m glad he came on board in November.

Rowley took over a side sat 17th in the National League Premier Division and finished the campaign one position better off, but the owner insisted he had seen improvements.

He added: “Just go stats,  goals per game has gone up by 20%, which is fabulous, and what I liked about Billy when I went and saw him in Walton was that he’s got a high tempo transition tactic – he creates an orchestra on the pitch. About 50-60% of the time the ball was in our possession, we were not chasing the opposing team and we also managed to get about circa 20% more goals per game. The other thing is he managed to get all the dribbles completed, 70% of the dribbles were completed, but before Billy  that was not the case. You can see on the pitch there’s a proper orchestra, where we lacked might have been in the defence, which is something we’ll try and fix for next season.

It’s that time of year where we ask Yeovil Town supporters for their thoughts on the season that’s just gone.

As with the previous surveys, this is on Google Forms and is a mix of multiple choice and linear scale (1-7 of course) questions about issues on the pitch, off the pitch and the future. There is also an optional section about the Gloverscast that we’d be very grateful if you’d complete it.

The survey will be open for four weeks and will close on Monday 25th May.

Distant Glover has been treating us to ‘cartoons’ for a few seasons now and always captures the moment wonderfully. Now, he captures the season in his 2025/26 review in true Distant Glover fashion. (This one’s not a cartoon.)

Where we won National League South

In pre-season, it’s revealed that we’re training in South Gloucestershire in order to attract players from Birmingham. Apparently, we just miss out on Jude Bellingham. As the season draws to an end, there are rumours that next season we’ll train just outside Miami. We’ll just miss out on Suarez and Messi, but sign two coaches called Crocket and Tubbs on the basis that they’ll show the squad how to really roll their sleeves up. Also, we’ll head out just before Jed Ward’s loan ends and then hide his passport.

Hallowed turf

For tactical reasons, it was decided to make the pitch smaller and move the goals away from the stands. After a review, it’s been decided for next season to move the goal we’re defending further away from the stands and into the car park.

You say potato

The season begins with reviving the old tradition of our first goal scorer winning a sack of spuds. It takes longer than expected, but does mean there’s one thing off the Sims family Christmas dinner shopping list. Next season, fans are hoping the club can revive another old tradition: the 2003 one of getting into the EFL.

In the middle of our goal

Ten seconds into the first game of the season, keeper Jed Ward becomes the fastest ever winner of Player Of The Year. He celebrates by kicking the ball out for an opposition throw.

Manager part 1

Cooper’s tactic of having a small squad might have worked better if his other tactic hadn’t been getting rid of our best players. According to some sources, he actually sacked himself for not being passive-aggressive enough in post-match interviews.

Invisible ink

Thanks to the new home kit letters and numbers, commentators who aren’t fans spend the season unable to refer to anyone in the squad by name. However, it does stop commentators who are fans from complaining about squad numbers higher than 11. As a season of moaning about a lack of big personalities draws to a close, it becomes clear that actually there were loads of characters in the team all along. It’s just that no-one could see them on the back of the home kit.

Managers part 2 and 4

As a player at Southampton, Richard Dryden was famous for losing cars. As a manager at Yeovil, he was famous for losing other things, including matches and tall tattooed defenders. He even managed to lose another manager between his first and second stints.

Calm

Yeovil fans discover the best method of keeping calm is meditation, and that the key to meditation is having a mantra to repeat over and over again. The mantra is either “Gerrit forward” or “Sign a striker”.

Managers part 3

Danny Webb lasts just one match in charge. Whilst his sudden departure never is fully explained, fans who were there understand that Tamworth away has that effect on people.

Competitive

Staff find one of Mark Cooper’s old notebooks in a cupboard. In it, he appears to base his management style on police interrogation techniques. This finally explains the whole good half, bad half thing.

Manager part 5

Fun fact: since the arrival of Billy Rowley, 86% of Yeovil fans’ favourite metaphor for describing the last few years is “like a rollercoaster”.

Hair Glorious Hair

Club accounts reveal half the club’s budget is being spent on shampoo and conditioner for our magnificently-coiffured squad. Any complaints are quickly forgotten when we win “Non-League Hair Of The Year” award, and attract both Toni and Guy as shirt sponsors for 26/27. Also, we sign Claudia Winkelman.

Liking penalties until Southport

Whilst taking a penalty, Brett McGavin kicks the ball so hard it enters hyperspace. The ball goes clean through the back of the net and travels to another dimension, landing in a seaside resort in a faraway galaxy called Dorset. Its path is halted by the back of an unfortunate steward’s head, prompting him to wave his fist at the sky and shout “Not again!”.

Community

Documents leaked from Somerset Council reveal that the Huish Park rent is funding ambitious plans to twin Yeovil with one of eight Caribbean islands. Councillors are keen to stress that a final decision will only be made after exhaustive due diligence has been completed on all eight islands. Formally.

Clean machine

Photos of a mould-covered Huish Park go viral. Closer inspection reveals the mould is green, and could be in the running for club mascot. Galvanised into action, Jolly Green Giant rents a jet wash and a cherry picker.

Cider apple turnover

Statistics finally prove that the Curse Of The Ex-Glover Scoring Against Us isn’t actually a Curse, but just a Highly Probable Event. This is because 74% of players in the National League have played for us. In the past three seasons.

Make it stop

By March, it feels like the season started around the time King Charles was crowned. By April, it feels like it started when he was beheaded.

You’re in the north

After York make it really hard for them to buy tickets, 209 Yeovil fans get their own back by briefly pretending they’re Rochdale fans in Braintree. That shows ’em.

Finally done

There’s a back-to-school flavour to the end of the season as we finish Mathematically safe, Geographically on the beach, Historically slightly better, Biologically exhausted, Chemically depressed, Physically limping and English Literally hoping the Midsummer Night’s Dream of promotion comes true. (One for the Shakespeare fans: hope we don’t finish Bottom.)

Merch

After the final game of the season, the club shop launches a new deodorant. It’s called Roll On 26-27.
