Following Yeovil Town's relegation from the Championship, manager Gary Johnson has set about rebuilding his squad ahead of the return to life in League One.
Johnson has completed his first signing of the summer in the form of left back Nathan Smith, who returns to Huish after three years with Chesterfield, in the wake of the news that goalkeeper Marek Stech, central defender Byron Webster and right back Luke Ayling all turned down new deals with the Glovers.
Watford appears to be a likely destination for Stech, who has also attracted interest from Sparta Prague in his native Czech Republic, whilst Ayling would earn Yeovil a fee from any future transfer as he is under the age of 24.
Nevertheless, veteran James Hayter, 35, has agreed a new one-year deal, which sees remain on a roster of strikers that includes Kieffer Moore and former Liverpool starlet Adam Morgan.
Loan signings could be attracted to Huish Park as the Glovers once again after Everton defender Shane Duffy joined the list of loan players who have enhanced their career prospects following a loan spell with Yeovil Town, which includes the likes of Andros Townsend, Alex McCarthy and Steven Caulker.
Duffy, 22, will spent this summer at a Republic of Ireland training camp, under the watchful gaze of manager Martin O'Neill- who monitored his progress at Huish Park this season, and could be set to feature in a series of friendly matches against Turkey, Italy, Costa Rica and Portugal.
