Motherwell have offered new deals to Lionel Ainsworth, John Sutton and Lee Erwin as they prepare for the 2015/16 campaign.

Ian Baraclough's side retained their top-flight status with a 6-1 aggregate win over Rangers in the Premiership play-off final.

The Fir Park club have announced that Stuart Carswell, Simon Ramsden, Paul Lawson, Iain Vigurs, Bob McHugh, Zaine Francis-Angol, Fraser Kerr and Ross Stewart have not been offered new contracts.

A number of other players, who had been on short-term deals or loans, are also moving on - namely George Long, Mark O’Brien, Anthony Straker, Louis Laing, Nathan Thomas, Conor Grant and Scott McDonald.

Baraclough told the Motherwell website: "I would first and foremost like to sincerely thank each and every player who is leaving the club for all their hard work and endeavour.
 
“We have or will also offer extensions to Lionel Ainsworth, John Sutton and Lee Erwin for next season. That process has begun and we hope they will stay, but we face competition for all three.”
