Captain Daniel set for future talks

The central defender will start his eighth season at the club if he can come to an agreement on terms for 2009/10.

Daniel is keeping his options open to what is likely to be offered, with the prospect of even another contract - which are likely to be scarce in the Blue Square North - under consideration.

The 32-year-old has just returned from holiday and will meet with Brindley this week for the first time since the end of the season, with the long-serving stopper happy to play on after completing his testimonial year.

Now comes the hard part, manager and player meeting somewhere in the middle and shaking hands on a deal.

Then Daniel can relax and enjoy the last month off, before the slog of pre-season starts in July.

He said: "I have just got back from holiday myself, while Chris was away before that, so I haven't seen anybody from the club since the end of the season. But I know the manager has spoken to most of the players, because I had a quick chat with him the other day.

"We plan to meet this week and hopefully we can things wrapped up nice and quick. Pre-season starts at the end of the month, so I want to get my future sorted as quickly as possible so I can relax.

"I am sure I will be offered something - it's just what that will be."
