Donny clear decks

Doncaster have released a host of youngsters following their relegation to League Two.

Goalkeeper Luke Chadwick, defenders Tom Henson, Michael Nesbitt and Dan Wilds and midfielders Corie Cole and Will Hollings will leave the Keepmoat Stadium, along with forwards Alex Wolny and Tavonga Kuleya.

Kuleya could yet earn a deal after being invited to return for pre-season training as he recovers from injury.

Doncaster Academy boss Tony Cook told the Doncaster Free Press: ‘It is never easy deciding not to offer professional contracts, but we have a strong support structure in place to be able to look after the players as they make the next steps of their careers away from the football club.

‘On behalf of everyone at Rovers and within the Academy, we thank the eight departing players for their efforts and wish them all the best moving forward with their careers.'
