Guiseley AFC are continuing to develop a squad for next season to challenge for further honours, and to work towards that some difficult decisions have had to be made.

Steve Kittrick and the Football Management team have considered options on how to move forward, and as a result have advised Dave Merris, Ciaran Toner and Joe O’Neill that they will not be offered contracts for next season.

All three have given excellent service to the club, particularly Dave Merris, who has been ever-present 2010-11-12 and has been awarded Player of the Year by the Supporters for the last two seasons.

We wish them all well wherever they play, and they will always be very welcome at Nethermoor.

Steve has found the decisions difficult to make, especially as he brought all the players to the club, but as part of the rebuilding process he has had to make calls that he, his Management team and the Club believe will move us further forward.
