The club can confirm its retained list following the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign.
Three first team players will leave the club following the expiry of their contracts: Tobias Figueiredo, Gaetan Bong and Carl Jenkinson.
Figueiredo joined The Reds from Sporting Lisbon in January 2018 initially on loan before signing a permanent deal at the City Ground. The Portuguese defender made a total of 122 appearances for the club during a four-and-a-half year spell on Trentside.
The club would like to thank Tobias, Gaetan and Carl for their contribution during their time at the City Ground and wish them well for the future.
Our five loan players, Keinan Davis, Philip Zinckernagel, Max Lowe, Djed Spence and James Garner, have also returned to their parent clubs upon the expiry of their loan deals on Trentside. The club would like to thank these players for their excellent contribution in helping us win promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
The club are in discussions with striker Lewis Grabban over a new deal at the City Ground, with his current contract due to expire at the end of the month.
Six of our academy players will also depart the club following the expiry of their contracts: Marcelo Valencia, Josh Barnes, Baba Fernandes, Sam Sanders, Morgan Thomas-Sadler and Joe Watkins.
The club have taken up options to extend the contracts of Under 23s duo Billy Fewster and Aaron Donnelly by a year. Riley Harbottle has also been offered a new deal by the club.
