Aspin confident of keeping squad

Aspin's side still has a slim chance of the play offs in Blue Square North

Harrogate Town manager Neil Aspin is hoping he will not lose any more players from his squad this season.

A number have left the club since the whole squad was placed briefly on the transfer list and captain Denny Ingram said he could be the next one to go.

"I don't want anybody else to leave but sometimes it's out of my hands," Aspin told BBC Radio York.

"We had an offer for a player, I didn't want him to go and he hasn't, hopefully we're not going to lose anyone else."

Goalkeeper Jim Provett, striker Danny Holland and midfielder Nathan Peat have all left the CNG Stadium in recent weeks.

We have to be realistic - this season is about consolidating

And Aspin added: "I've tried to be honest throughout this time since it's been difficult.

"We put the players on the transfer list. We have cut the wage bill. At the moment we're not trying to get rid of anyone else but obviously there's still clubs ringing up and I've had an offer for one player this week.

"We have to be realistic and truthful to supporters. We realise that we've lost some good players and that this season is about consolidating and looking at the picture at the end of the season and how we go forward."
