blythspartan It’s my understanding that NGW only has a one year contract but he looks like he’s going to develop into a really good LB/LWB. Are we allowed to offer him a longer deal midway through this season if he continues to improve? It’ll be just our luck that he has a great season and then gets snapped up by someone else next year.
There is likely a clause allowing us to extend but if not, yes, we would be able to offer a new deal as long as, if we increase his money we remain within the agreed budget.
This is based on the situation now though - the EFL may be more flexible or less flexible with us as things go on depending on how we are tracking against the wage budget and overall losses.
