Young Tranmere defender Danny Holmes has signed a new one year contract with the Club.

Holmes was a regular in the Reserves last season and spent part of the campaign on loan at Southport where he earned praise for his performances.

Tranmere Manager Ronnie Moore said: "Danny is a promising young defender who gained match experience from his spell at Southport.

"Hopefully he will use it to his advantage and push for a First Team place next season."

Meanwhile, the Club have completed the signings of two Youth Scholars on professional contracts.

Liverpool born Terry Gornell, 18, is a striker who played regularly in the Reserves last season. He scored 15 goals in all competitions last season and was an unused substitute for the First Team on three occasions. He has been with the Club since the age of 10 and has just completed the second year of his youth scholarship.

Aaron Cresswell, 18, is also from Liverpool and plays at left back. He was been a regular in the Reserves last season and scored four times and was captain of the Youth Team. He has been with the Club since the age of 15 and has also just completed the second year of his youth scholarship.

Manager Ronnie Moore said: "It is very important for the Club to see players who have been with the Club from a young age go through the Centre of Excellence and Youth Team and make it professional.

"Both have a lot potential and with hard work should have bright futures ahead of them."

Chief Executive Mick Horton added: "Terry and Aaron are the latest players to sign a professional contract from our very successful youth development programme.

"This shows the high level of commitment that the Club has and will continue to have towards young players."
