Exeter City has reached deals with Steve Tully and Neil Saunders to keep them at St James' Park for next season.

Defender Tully, who joined the club from Weymouth in January 2007, played 41 times for City last season.

But former Watford trainee Saunders, who plays in midfield, spent much of last season on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Boss Paul Tisdale told the club website that he expected to announce more contract news in the next week.

"I will make an announcement when the time is right, but it wouldn't be fair to comment at the moment," he said.

"We are waiting to hear on one or two and things will become a lot clearer early next week."
