CHASETOWN have reassured fans that the club remains "committed to building a strong long-term project" on and off the pitch.

It comes after the departures of Todd Ferrier, Kieran Fenton, Joey Butlin and Mitch Clarke were both confirmed following the end of the season.

The Scholars have yet to announce any new faces as new manager Carl Dickinson looks to shape his squad for the upcoming campaign.

But in a statement, the club said work was taking place behind the scenes.

"With a new manager now in place bringing fresh ideas and a clear vision for the future, changes within the squad this summer are both natural and expected.

"The club remains fully committed to building a strong long-term project and ensuring we continue moving forward both on and off the pitch.

"Following our victory in the Walsall Senior Cup Final, it was important that the club’s full focus remained on ending the season positively before attention turned towards preparations for next year.

"As a result, discussions regarding the 2026/27 squad only began in recent weeks. In addition, players cannot officially be registered until July – these processes naturally take time.

"We understand supporters are eager for news regarding player retention and new signings, and we can assure fans that a great deal of work is taking place behind the scenes.

"We would also like to place on record our thanks to those managers, staff and players who have moved on from the club. Every individual who has worn the Chasetown FC shirt should be proud of their contribution, and they leave with our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.

"For those who have left, the decision has been personal, while others are pursuing new opportunities or challenges elsewhere in the game.

"The Northern Premier League West Division remains one of the most competitive leagues at this level of football, and we are determined to ensure the work taking place alongside our new management team matches the ambitions of the football club."
