Northern Irish defender Chris Casement is close to sealing a new deal which will also keep him with the Blues until 2009.
Boss Jim Magilton told the club site that the pair have earned their new contracts: "Both boys are on the first rung of a long ladder but they have done well here and deserve to be rewarded with new contracts.
"We want to keep them hungry and positive and I see their long term futures at this football club."
