Torquay United trio Martin Rice, Thomas Cruise and Ashley Yeoman have all agreed new deals to keep them at Plainmoor for the 2013-14 season.
Reserve goalkeeper Rice has been an able understudy to first choice custodian Michael Poke whilst former Arsenal starlet Cruise has kept stalwart left back Kevin Nicholson on his toes.
Striker Yeoman, a graduate of the club's revamped youth system, made his full debut against AFC Wimbledon on New Year's Day and scored his first goal for the Gulls in their 2-0 victory away at Morecambe in their penultimate fixture of the 2013-14 season.
However, it is looking increasingly likely that top scorer Rene Howe will be leaving Plainmoor, which would see him become the second player to leave the Gulls for pastures new after Ryan Jarvis signed for York City, a move which sees him link up with his former Norwich manager Nigel Worthington.
