The Lilywhites have several players to make decisions on over the course of the 2024/25 campaign, with 14 professionals in their final years - plus four Under-19 players. Freddie Woodman, Liam Lindsay and Emil Riis are three stand out names - all have been asked about their situations in recent weeks, but not given a great deal away.

Inevitably, some players will move on next summer and others - like Lewis Leigh and Alan Browne did this year - may opt to pursue a new challenge. PNE director Peter Ridsdale said, prior to Ryan Lowe’s exit and Paul Heckingbottom’s appointment, that talks has started with a couple of squad members. With it now the international break, here is a recap of how North End’s squad looks on the contract front...
