OPTION FOR A FURTHER YEAR
Harry Williams, Taylor Allen, Tom Knowles, Aramide Oteh, Douglas James-Taylor
OUT OF CONTRACT
Jackson Smith, Owen Evans, Joe Foulkes, Rollin Menayese, Joe Riley, Jamille Matt
Speaking to Express & Star reporter George Bennett, Sadler insisted he is focused on this weekend's season-ending clash with AFC Wimbledon but is keeping a keen eye on what's next for his squad.
Sadler said: "We’re in a good position with the option years we’ve got.
"There are some that have probably done better than that who we’d like to offer different contracts. We’ll look at that at the right time.
"That’s probably about it at the moment. There will be a lot of work but everything is focused on the last game now.
"All of that sort of stuff will be covered in the next few weeks. We’ve got options on a lot of the players that supporters may be thinking about.
"So we’re protected in a few areas."
