Duo commit but Doncaster Rovers still awaiting answer on new contract offer from another player
It remains unclear whether or not young goalkeeper Jake Oram will remain at Doncaster Rovers beyond this summer.
Oram was handed his senior debut on the final day of last season, coming on as a substitute for the final seven minutes of the 3-1 win over Peterborough United. The 19-year-old replaced Thimothee Lo-Tutala and produced a good save in his cameo as Rovers saw out the last-day success to seal a 14th-placed finish in League One.
The club confirmed details of its retained list prior to that fixture, with seven players being released as well as the four loanees - including the aforementioned Lo-Tutala - returning to their parent clubs.
Rovers also activated extension options on a number of players whose deals had been set to expire this summer, including Oram's fellow young goalkeeper Jacob Bryant.
Oram and Jack Senior were two players offered new deals and last week the latter penned a fresh, two-year deal. That means Oram is the last piece of the jigsaw to complete before Rovers set about adding to their squad over the summer.
Touching on the subject recently, manager Grant McCann admitted that Rovers intended to keep both Bryant and Oram "because we see them as two young, up-and-coming goalkeepers" but added the caveat that "we will still probably bring in two senior goalkeepers in the summer."
The return of Lo-Tutala and Zander Clark to Hull City and Hearts respectively means Bryant - as it currently stands - is the only senior stopper on Rovers' books.
Should Oram follow suit and commit, he'll follow in the footsteps of fellow youngsters Lincoln Pawlak and Alex Pavan.
The academy graduate duo have now officially signed their first pro deals with academy head Stuart Swift saying: "We now have several players in the first team squad next season, who have stepped up from the academy in recent years. It’s testament to the players and staff, and the belief in them shown by Grant and Cliff (Byrne, assistant)."
