Stalwart defenders George Quarrington-Carter and James Budden are staying, as is Kieron Cathline and Luke Tingey.

Manager Luke O'Leary has also persuaded Ryan Young, Nathan Livings, Callum Ellesley, Darion Furlong, Franc Silinou, Sydney Ibie and Amine Sassi to remain at he LA Construction Stadium for another year.


The Scholars will be captained by Keagan Cole for the new season, who takes over the armband from Budden who has had to take a slight step back because of work commitments.

Speaking on the club's website, O'Leary said: "Giving such an important role to a player that is so young says a lot about Keagan and how valued he is at the club.

"As Keagan has played around 200 games at step three, as well as his performances for us and likeability within the squad, we felt that it’s a natural progression for his development to make him our captain.

"With more responsibility, we are confident it will take his own game to another level."
