Pompey's Retained List Revealed

Portsmouth Football Club's 15 out-of-contract players have now been told whether or not they have a future at Fratton Park.

The 2023/24 campaign was hugely successful for both Pompey's men and women with both sides winning their respective leagues and therefore achieving promotion.

Following weeks of celebrations and plenty of highs, now unfortunately comes a difficult time of the year where the players whose contracts are set to expire begin negotiations with the club to decide whether or not they are in the plans for next season.
