Blackburn Rovers have some important decisions to make in the next 12 months with 11 players heading into the final year of their contract.
Three of those have a one-year option to extend but John Eustace will have to sit down and thrash out their future over the upcoming campaign.
Gregg Broughton was particularly proactive with contract renewals and that's led to eight players being tied down until 2027. Seven of those, have been as a result of agreeing new deals.
Of those entering their last year, Sam Gallagher and Tyrhys Dolan's situations have been well documented. They had their extensions triggered this summer and talks will be held to determine whether they sign new deals or potentially go elsewhere.

Captain Dom Hyam is another player who has 12 months left. He signed a three-year deal after joining from Coventry City and there were hints that a new contract could be on the cards around Christmas.
That didn't materialise after a busy January window and everyone was then focussed on securing Rovers' Championship status.
Ryan Hedges had an injury-hit season and his full focus is now on getting back fit after a second hamstring problem. If the Welshman can remain available, he will probably earn himself a fresh deal with his performances.
Likewise, Arnor Sigurdsson, who signed permanently six months ago, penning an 18-month deal. We've seen flashes of what he's capable of but there is more to come.
He could really benefit from a full pre-season after starting and ending last season injured. He's back playing with Iceland and hopefully, he comes through that unscathed.
Dilan Markanday, Jack Vale and Zak Gilsenan's deals all expire in 2025 but Rovers have options on each of them. Georgie Gent and goalkeeper Jordan Eastham and Joe Hilton all see their deals expire next summer.
