Stockport County manager Jim Gannon is confident the bulk of his young squad will still be at Edgeley Park next season after opting to release nine players.

Chris Adamson, Rob Clare, Adam Griffin, David Poole, Adam Proudlock, Dan Ellis, Chris Coward, Craig Flowers and Amari Morgan-Smith have all been told their futures lie elsewhere as Gannon starts to prepare for life in League One.

"What's encouraging for me is that the players have shown a willingness to want to stay together next season," the Hatters boss told the club's official website.

"They're fantastic young players who are growing, but the fact that the club has moved to the first division now means they haven't outgrown the club and I think they'll be able to develop further at our level."
