DAVID Hodgson's retained list may be complete, but an announcement will not be made until the Darlington boss has informed his players of their futures, writes Lee Hall.

Hodgson has delayed revealing his plans, with the majority of his squad away on holiday.

The Quakers boss said: "I can't disclose anything yet until I've spoken to the players.

"There are some away on holiday and the last thing I want is for them to find out elsewhere before I've spoken to them. It just wouldn't be fair.."

Hodgson has discussed next season's budget with chairman George Houghton and one player he would like to retain is Shelton Martis, who has been offered a two-year deal.

However, the Dutchman will consider other offers before deciding on his future.

Several Championship sides, including Leeds, have made their interest known in the 23-year-old but none have yet to make any formal approach.

Darlington would be entitled to a fee for the former FC Eindhoven man.

Meanwhile, Adrian Webster has been called up to the New Zealand squad.
