After a long day of talks between the manager and his squad members, the following is the latest contract update:

Kevin Gall and David Raven have been offered improved terms for the 2007 / 08 season along with a contract extension that will keep them at Carlisle United until the summer of 2009.

Neale McDermott, Dan Kirkup, Luke Joyce and Adam Bradley have all been offered one year deals, which would keep them at the club until the summer of 2008.

As we already know, Shaun Vipond and Chris Howarth have both been offered two year contracts.

Anthony Williams remains on loan at Wrexham until the end of his 93 day period, in June, which also takes him up to the end of his contract here at Brunton Park.

Talks with Raphael Nade's agent are ongoing, with a decision expected within the next 48 hours.
