Oxford United have announced their retained list for next season.

Boss Karl Robinson had already held meetings with a number of players, but after Saturday's 2-1 victory over Rochdale ensured their Sky Bet League One safety, said he would meet with others today.

And the club have unveiled the fate of those out of contract players.

As expected, United have taken up options to extend the contracts of captain Curtis Nelson and winger Rob Hall.

They have offered new one-year deals to left back Ricardinho and defender Sam Long, while midfielder Joe Rothwell will also be offered a new contact.

A clause in goalkeeper Scott Shearer's contract has been extended, earning him a new one-year deal, while both Charlie Raglan and Kane Hemmings, on loan at Port Vale and Mansfield Town respectively, will return to the club this summer.

However, Agon Mehmeti, Wes Thomas, Aaron Martin, Dwight Tiendalli, Mike Williamson, James Roberts and Josh Ashby will leave the club, as will Gino van Kessel, with United not taking up an option to turn his loan spell into a permanent deal.

As reported last week, midfielder Ivo Pekalski has been told that he is free to find another club over the summer.

Robinson told United's website: “We are delighted to have made offers to the players we want to keep and who we see as part of the rebuilding but obviously there were some difficult decisions to be made and some tough conversations.

"They have worked so hard and I can honestly say that everything was done with respect and done the right way and we wish every one of the players leaving all the best for the future.

"The aim is to build a strong new team for what I am sure will be a very exciting season."
