Players departing the Tarmac Silverlands are...Connor Brown, Max Dearnley, Sam Minihan, Sam Osborne, Max Hunt, Adam Livingstone, Jak McCourt, Eoin McKeown, Ryan Qualter (Signed for FC United of Manchester), Luke Shiels, Curtis Weston and Jake Wright.

Connor Kirby and Zaine Francis-Angol are both in discussion with the club over new deals . Further signings will be announced when known in what is going to be a very busy summer at the club.
In other news; Buxton FC sends condolences to the family and friends of Hope Valley League secretary Richard Rutherford who sadly passed away last weekend.
