Following on from the news that Lee Evans, Lewis Gwilliams, Andre Gonzales, Reece Leek, Tom Turton and Danny O'Callaghan all agreed terms for next season Royals manager Neil Tooth informed us yesterday that following discussions Joel Kettle, Matt Jackson, Justin Richards, Jordan Nadat, Ramone Stephens and Mark Danks have all agreed to stay with the Royals.

Tooth had this to say, "Im delighted that the majority have agreed to stay and especially when some have had some really good offers to play elsewhere. The only two im waiting on now are Scott Lycett and Danny Edwards. Im speaking to Scott this evening and Danny has gone away to have a think about my offer but im hopeful both will agree terms."

Asked about any new faces Tooth had this to say, "We have made a major signing that will be revealed later today and im hoping that we can announce another by the weekend. Iv also got some very good lads coming in for pre season with a view to signing so at the minute im very happy with where we are as my main focus was securing the lads already here."
