Kavita should be getting called up again for International duty in early October, although I'm not sure when Hamouda's next call might come. Any idea who all is going to still be under contract next year? And I know Damus is on loan with an option to buy... if he wants to stay.
The guaranteed ones are Pasher, Martínez and Kavita, who all signed multi-year extensions in December 2024. After that it's a bit of guesswork as Legion are weirdly opaque about deal lengths when signing players. Here's my attempt at that:
- Turnbull, Howell and Delgado are the only new signings who didn't explicitly have "signed for 2025" in their announcements, which makes sense as all three had transfer fees so the club would want to protect that investment.
- Laszo, oddly enough, does state "for the 2025 season" despite also coming on a fee, so that's a weird one.
- From the 2024 returnees, MVO and McCartney had options exercised to stay in 2025, so they're definitely at the end of their deals.
- Everyone else who was here in 2024 is in the second year of their deals, so that would mean they're done as I believe that's the max length in USL, though they could have options for more that the club can take up.
- Some new signings I would expect have extension options as well, most notably Dourado/Ereku as loans make no sense otherwise.
- Tregarthen should hopefully have an option as well as it makes sense to have 1+1 deals for less proven acquisitions.
