Although he was announced among the players released this summer, 24-year-old attacking midfielder Alex Gilbert may still remain at the club as an additional player. Talks have taken place, with the main issue being the limited role he will be expected to play in the future. In the 2025/2026 Championship season, the Irish and English player made 21 appearances, scored 1 goal, and provided 1 assist. He has a current Transfermarkt market value of €1.00m.
