Retained List

Centre-back Sonny is one of five players recruited last summer who have triggered an extension to their existing deal, along with David Fox, Gary Miller, Yann Songo’o and Oscar Threlkeld, while four January transfer-window signings – Nathan Blissett, Antoni Sarcevic, Jakub Sokolik and Ryan Taylor – will also be returning to Home Park when pre-season training begins at the end of June. 

Captain Luke McCormick and forward Jake Jervis are part of manager Derek Adams’ plans for the new campaign, while midfielder Graham Carey is one of three out-of-contract Pilgrims offered a new deal, along with goalkeeper Marc McCallum and defender Gary Sawyer.

Apprentice graduates Jordan Bentley, Alex Fletcher, Callum Rose have been offered first-team squad contracts.

Nine members of the 2016-17 squad which finished as runners-up in League Two have come to the end of their contract and been released, including Nauris Bulvitis, Ryan Donaldson, Jordan Slew, Connor Smith and Jimmy Spencer. 

Also leaving Home Park are Ryan Brunt, who did not feature last season after suffering knee injury in March of the previous campaign, and David Ijaha, whose season was also affected by fitness problems.

Louis Rooney, who spent the second half of last season at League Two Hartlepool United, is another Pilgrim who is being released, along with goalkeeper Vincent Dorel. 

Loan players Arnie Garita, Matty Kennedy and Craig Tanner have returned to their parent clubs.

We thank all departing Pilgrims for contributing to the life of the club and the success of the team while they have been at Home Park and we wish them nothing but the very best in their future ventures.
