Blackpool have activated one-year contract extensions for Richard Keogh, Keshi Anderson, Ewan Bange, Josh Bowler, Brad Holmes, Stuart Moore and Jordan Thorniley.

He went on to make 31 appearances this season, helping Blackpool to a 16th-placed finish in the Championship.

Anderson, 27, and Bowler, 23, were also first-team regulars this term.

Meanwhile, the club also announced they will release Cameron Antwi, Ryan Grant, Johnny Johnston, Matthew Liptrott, Charlie Monks, Ethan Robson, Sky Sinclair and Grant Ward.

Ward, 27, joined Blackpool from Ipswich in 2019 and made 56 appearances for the club, including in their 2020-21 League One play-off final win against Lincoln.
