Wycombe offer Low new deal as Vokes departs

Joe Low made his Wales debut against Gibraltar in 2023

Wycombe Wanderers have offered a new contract to defender Joe Low while fellow Wales international Sam Vokes heads a list of six senior players leaving the club.

Low made 42 appearances, scoring four goals, for the Chairboys who finished third in League One but lost to Charlton Athletic in the play-offs.

Vokes helped the club reach the play-off final in 2022, in which they lost to Sunderland but only played nine games this season.

"Sam has been a wonderful ambassador for the club in many ways and his experience and character off the pitch have been hugely instrumental, even though his playing time has become limited," said chief football officer Dan Rice.

Fellow forwards Brandon Hanlan, Beryly Lubala and Kieran Sadlier are also leaving Adams Park, along with goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli and former West Brom, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Adam Reach, who was signed in February on a short-term deal.

"Brandon worked extremely hard to battle back from his year-long injury and that speaks volumes for his determination and resilience, while Beryly and Kieran have provided lots of bright sparks in the attack, though both have also been unfortunate with injuries," said Rice.

As well as Low, Wycombe have also offered new deals to youngsters Fin Back, Jahiem Dotse, Jack Matton and Laurie Shala.

And following last Thursday's 1-0 aggregate loss to Charlton, Wycombe's owners Feliciana EFL Ltd have said the club has an "exciting future ahead".

In a message to supporters, they added: "We've already shown what we're capable of - this season will only make us more determined and better prepared for what's next.

"One setback will not deter us from the longer-term goals that we have put in place to take this club to levels it has never reached before."
