Kieran Ngwenya, a 23-year-old Malawian centre-back, is one of the players whose contract is scheduled to expire in the coming days. Neil Lennon stated that many of the players who were close to success this season would not be there the following year and that they have offered contracts to players but some have delayed responding, so he is assuming they will go to other clubs. Lennon also mentioned that many players have been given free transfers already. The defender has one cap for Malawi, a current Transfermarkt market value of €200k, and has been linked with clubs including Burton Albion, Blackpool, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell.
