Yeovil Town midfielder Matt Worthington notched up a personal milestone in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Boreham Wood by reaching 100 games in green and white.

Worthington initially joined the Glovers in 2017, on loan from Bournemouth he played a little over a dozen league games for the club in League Two.

After a short stint at Forest Green Rovers, he returned to Huish Park on a permanent basis in January 2019.

In that number, he has started 76 games (and thus come off the bench 24 times) scoring three times.

Congratulations, Matt on a wonderful achievement… here’s to 100 more!

Yeovil Town have announced that Matt Worthington has signed an extension with the club keeping him at Huish Park for the upcoming 2021/22 season.

The 23-year-old midfielder, who joined the Glovers in January 2019 is the longest serving member of the squad and has become a real fans’ favourite during his time at Huish Park.

Confirming the deal on social media, Matt said;
“Delighted to be here again next season” Thank you for all your messages”

Gaffer Darren Sarll was also pleased to get the deal done telling the club’s official website;  “I was delighted when Matthew called and wanted to re-sign… “

“Matt and I have discussed in real depth what he needs to bring to this new team. A player that effects the outcome of games is very much within him but I have challenged him to make this a consistent actual. He can do it, it’s deep down within his capabilities and I believe he will be a big player for us next season.”

This is sure to be a popular announcement, none more so than at Gloverscast HQ!

Reuben Reid and Albi Skendi will be at Yeovil Town next season after the club confirming that options in their contract had been triggered.

In an update on players issued on Friday, the club also confirmed that midfielder Emmanuel Sonupe is out of contract with no indication he will be retained, which suggests he has not been.

Lawson D’Ath has been invited to continue his rehabilitation at Huish Park.

Matt Worthington has been offered a new deal but is yet to sign it and it appears youngster Alex John has been let go after his contract expired.

The updated added: “Discussions are underway with individuals from the above out of contract and loan lists.”

This would suggest the possibility of a return for goalkeeper Adam Smith and full-back Michael Kelly, who were released by Forest Green Rovers and Bristol Rovers respectively at the end of last season.

BBC Somerset’s Yeovil Town commentator Tom Seymour is reporting Yeovil Town have options built in to contracts for utility player Albi Skendi and midfielder Matt Worthington.

Both players are out of contract this summer, but this information would suggest manager Darren Sarll could opt to keep them both for the 2021/22 campaign.

Skendi has been used in near enough every position this season with Sarll praising the fomer Stratford Town man for his flexibility and ability in multiple tactical set-ups.

Worthington took longer to get into the side but was a key part in the 2nd half of the season turnaround and has also helped out in defence when needed.

During the latter stages of the season, striker Joe Quigley has signed a new deal, with confirmation of fellow frontman Reuben Reid‘s extended stay at Huish Park beyond next Saturday also expected.
