Oxford United boss Karl Robinson has already made decisions about who is staying and who will be leaving the club in the summer.
The U’s have eight first-team players out of contract next month, but some have the option for an additional 12 months.
Among those with an option are Elliott Moore and James Henry. Robinson has previously mentioned that the club would trigger the defender’s deal and the U’s boss wants to keep hold of Henry, despite limited game time this season due to injury.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail, he said: “James Henry is somebody we want here next year. We’ve had a conversation, he knows that.
“James Henry’s contribution at the beginning of the season was massive, but you forget about that because of how bad his back of the season has been.
“We know how important he is to the football club and he’s another player we want to be part of what we’re trying to achieve.”
Alex Rodriguez Gorrin, who has also missed much of the campaign through injury, has been offered fresh terms by the club, according to Robinson.
Mark Sykes was the most noticeable absentee from the squad against Doncaster on Saturday, with Robinson expecting to see the midfielder depart in the summer.
Sam Winnall and Jamie Hanson are also out of contract and failed to feature against the Yorkshire club.
Robinson added: “I think it’s evident, you know the loan players go back to their clubs.
“Sam Winnall’s contract is up, Sykesy’s contract is up, he’ll obviously move on as well. Jamie Hanson’s is up as well.”
