The nine Plymouth Argyle players that are likely to leave the club in 2024.
FLW takes a look at the nine Blackburn Rovers players whose contracts expire at Ewood Park next summer.
Plymouth Argyle has made a solid start to the Championship season, picking up four points against Premier League opponents.
Due to a limited budget, Steven Schumacher has had to be astute in the transfer market, making vital additions such as Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker.
Several Plymouth Argyle players, notably Brendan Galloway and Matt Butcher, are out of contract at the conclusion of the season and could leave if new contracts are not agreed upon.
Three of their first opponents have recently played Premier League football, so Steven Schumacher will be ecstatic if they can secure four points from that stretch. It all started with a convincing 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town, then a goalless draw against Watford before being defeated at the finish by Southampton in front of Sky Sports cameras.
Heading into the first international break of the season, Schumacher’s men have seven points from fifteen available, including the most recent excellent home triumph against Blackburn Rovers following another devastating last-minute setback to high-flying Birmingham City.
Schumacher has one of the most modest budgets in the division and has had to be exceedingly market smart, with the permanent recruitment of important individuals. Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker are only two of eleven new players signed during the summer window. Other notable additions include Julio Pleguezuelo, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, and the return of Finn Azaz.
Plymouth Argyle players who are no longer under contract
In spite of promotion, the likes of Conor Grant and Danny Mayor were released upon the expiry of their contract, and the club will lose more players next summer as well.
Following the conclusion of the summer transfer window, here, we take a look at those that are out of contract in 2024 who Blackburn may want to tie down next summer.
Brendan Galloway
Galloway has been with the club since 2021 since arriving from Luton Town and has so far made 40 appearances for the club.
However, the 27-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and will leave the club this summer unless a new deal is agreed.
Callum Burton
Another player who joined the club in 2021, Burton initially came in as back up, but has played more regularly of late due to a serious injury for Michael Cooper.
The 27-year-old signed a three-year deal after joining from Cambridge United and has gone on to play 32 times for the club since then.
Matt Butcher Butcher joined Plymouth from Accrington Stanley in 2022, signing a two-year contract.
The 26-year-old is in the final year of his contract with Schumacher’s team, having appeared 52 times. From midfield, he has three goals and two assists.
Mickel Miller Miller joined from Rotherham United in 2022, and his contract expires at the end of the season as well.
In that time, the 27-year-old winger or wing-back has only made 17 appearances, assisted on one goal.
Earley, Saxon
The 20-year-old joined the club on a one-year deal from Norwich in the summer and has already made two first-team outings.
He will be eager to impress and demonstrate his worthiness of a contract extension beyond next year.
