The retained players are:

Mitch Marshall
Ryan McLean
Jack Anderton
Leighton Hewitt
Luke Smith
Ethan Gough
Paul Turner
Ben Fletcher
Josh Ashe

Retaining the backbone of the squad provides a fantastic platform to build from as Town look forward to another competitive campaign at Inglewhite Road.

Each player has played an important role in the club's recent progress, bringing quality, commitment and experience both on and off the pitch. Their decision to remain at Longridge demonstrates the belief and ambition shared throughout the football club.

Manager Ashey said:

"Keeping the core of the group together was one of our biggest priorities this summer. These lads know what it means to represent Longridge Town; they work hard for each other every week, and they're a brilliant group to build around. I'm delighted they've all committed for another season, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together."

Everyone at Longridge Town FC would like to congratulate our retained players on their commitment to the club, and we can't wait to see them back in action in front of the Town faithful this season.
