Huddersfield Town have confirmed their retained squad list at the end of the 2017/18 season, prior to any transfer changes that will occur this summer.
First Team Changes
Town only had three senior players out of contract at the end of their debut Premier League campaign: Dean Whitehead, Robert Green and Jordy Hiwula.
Whitehead announced his retirement prior to the Terrier’s final game of the season against Arsenal, and he will move into the club’s backroom staff at the beginning of next season.
Former England 'keeper Green will not be offered a new contract and will now leave the West Yorkshire side after only being with them for a year.
However, Hiwula, who has spent this season on loan at Fleetwood Town, has taken the option to extend his contract for another year.
Academy Changes
Eight players from the existing Under 23 and Under 18 age groups have been offered new deals, whilst five players will depart the club.
Town has activated its clause to extend 20-year-old striker Rekeil Pyke’s contract into next season, whilst defenders Romoney Crichlow-Noble and Rarmani Edmonds-Green have been offered new professional contracts.
Several academy players have also been offered a third year to their existing scholarships that will cover the 2018/19 season: defenders Oran Thompson and Sam Gibson, midfielder Isaac Marriott, and attackers Olly Dyson and George Danaher.
Dylan Cogill, Cameron Taylor, Jack Boyle, Denilson Carvalho and Luca Colville will all depart the club once their contracts expire this summer.
