Ince set for contract talks
Walsall are preparing to open talks with double player of the season Clayton Ince after the goalkeeper and seven team-mates were offered new contracts.
The Trinidad and Tobago shot-stopper has been offered a deal to stay, along with fellow keeper Rene Gilmartin, Manny Smith, Netan Sansara, Sofiene Zaaboub, Jabo Ibehre, Richard Davies and Chris Palmer.
But former England striker Michael Ricketts and this year's captain, Stephen Hughes, were the high-profile names among a quartet of players released by manager Chris Hutchings. Former Derby full-back Paul Boertien and youngster Hassan Bacchus will not be offered new contracts.
"We would like to thank Stephen, Michael, Paul and Hassan for their efforts during the course of the season and wish them all the very best in the future," said Hutchings.
