LES Parry has confirmed which players will not be offered new deals for the 2010/11 season.

Bas Savage, Gareth Edds and Chris Shuker are the highest profile casualties, and join Charlie Barnett, Kithson Bain and Josh Macauley in looking for a new club for next season.

Parry, who met chairman Peter Johnson on Wednesday to discuss an extension to his role as manager, explained the reason for the clearout.

He said: “I’d like to thank the six players for their time at Prenton Park and wish them all the best for the future.

“We’ve targeted the areas we feel we need to improve and we will be working hard over the summer to bring the players we want to the Club.”

Shuker, a former fans favourite, has found himself out of favour in the manager’s preferred 4-3-3 system.

Despite starting the season as first choice under John Barnes, he has struggled to adapt to the hard working regime implemented by Parry, with some Rovers fans believing he never fully recovered from a series of injuries over the last few years.

Savage has struggled to find fitness following his own injury problems, a damaged achilles heel side-lining him for most of the season, and while his performances have improved of late it seems Parry is unwilling to gamble on him.

Edds, who has been used mainly as a back-up at right back and in central midfield, made some important contributions this season against the likes of Southampton and Exeter.

But unfortunately the lasting memory of his time in Birkenhead will be his sending off in the crucial play-off six pointer at Scunthorpe under Ronnie Moore.

Meanwhile Rovers have offered new contracts to six other players- Craig Curran, Ryan Fraughan, John Welsh, Zoumana Bakayogo, Marlon Broomes and a first professional deal for youth scholar Jack Mackreth.
