Yeovil Town have announced their retained and released list for the end of the 2023/24 season and confirmed the departures of eight contracted players including Alex Fisher, Jake Hyde and Jordan Stevens.
Rhys Murphy and Sam Pearson have been offered new deals for next season and Michael Smith, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and Charlie Cooper have all had 12-month extensions triggered.
Jordan Maguire-Drew, listed as under contract for next season, is currently on-loan at Barnet, who declared that they had the option to sign the play maker on a ‘free permanent’ deal at the end of this current season.
The loanees, including Joe Day, have returned to their parent clubs. Jay Foulston has returned to Taunton, but Foulston’s deal was described as being “with a view to a permanent move” upon his arrival. Whether he has done enough to earn a permanent is unclear at the moment.

No real surprises.
Does anyone know what happened to goalkeeper Lewis Williams? I assumed he’d signed a one year contract. I can’t recall any seeing any information stating he’d been released, but he’s obviously left the club.
