The 18 Exeter City players who are leaving on a free next summer
The players that could depart Exeter City in 2024
Hartridge’s contract extension is crucial for Exeter City as he is a vital member of the team and his departure would be a blow to the defense.
Exeter City will be eager to secure Jules to a new deal or trigger an extension as he has become an integral part of the squad.
Mitchell’s contract situation requires negotiation as there is no option to trigger an extension, meaning a new deal must be reached to keep him beyond 2024
Exeter City’s good start to the League One campaign has suffered a setback in recent weeks.
Gary Caldwell’s side will be aiming to improve on last year’s 14th place finish, in which the team comfortably survived in their first campaign back at this level.
The Grecians will be hoping to fight in the top half of the third division, with their sights set on competing for promotion to the Championship.
Here we look at the players that could leave Exeter City in the summer due to expiring contracts…
Alex Hartridge
Hartridge is one of the most important members of the League One side’s first team squad.
It would be a real blow if no contract extension is reached with the defender to keep him at the club beyond 2024.
Zak Jules
The 26-year-old has become a key part of the Exeter squad, but could depart the club in the summer coming as a free agent.
Exeter will surely be keen to tie him down to a new deal, although there is also the option of triggering a 12-month extension to keep him until 2025.
Demetri Mitchell
The defender joined the club in January on an 18-month deal that is set to expire in 2024.
With no option to trigger an extension, an agreement will need to be reached over a new deal.
Tom Carroll
Carroll joined the Grecians last summer as part of a one-year contract that expires in 2024.
He has proven a key addition to Caldwell’s side since arriving in 2023.
Reece Cole
Cole has the option to extend his current contract by a further year, which has yet to be triggered.
If it elapses, then Cole will be free to leave the club in the summer of 2024.
