It's decision time for Albion's out-of-contract players.

The likes of Guy Butters, pictured, Alexis Bertin, Adam Hinshelwood and Paul Reid will hear this week whether they are being offered new deals.

Albion must lodge their retained list with the Football League and Football Association by the end of the week.

Which means a few busy days behind the scenes. Meetings with those players whose contracts are coming to an end are likely to begin tomorrow morning.

The list also includes Gary Hart and Kerry Mayo, who are believed to have made enough appearances to qualify for the offer of a new deal, as well as Charlie Oatway, Michel Kuipers, Sam Rents, Doug Loft, Paul Hinshelwood, Chris Breach, Richard Martin, Wes Fogden and Georges Santos.

Albion are currently organising a pre-season friendly schedule which will see them make trips to three non-league as part of deals which brought players to Withdean.

The Seagulls will visit Billericay, Braintree and Hastings, from whom they brought in Nathan Elder, Alex Revell and Loft respectively.

They also have the trip to Worthing (July 14) and Kerry Mayo's testimonial at home to Reading (July 28) to look forward to with other dates to follow.

Yeovil look like being in League One next season after losing 2-0 at home to Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their semi-final on Friday night.
