Full-back Ryan Hill is the latest Magpie to be offered a new deal.

The deadball specialist, who rejoined the county town club at the end of November, is mulling over a one-year contract.

Should Hill choose to extend his stay at the Avenue Stadium, the 23-year-old would follow in the footsteps of Mark Jermyn, Kyle Critchell, Nathan Walker and Ryan Moss, who all put pen to paper after Saturday’s 4-2 win over Weston-super-Mare.

Manager Ashley Vickers, who revealed he is also discussing a possible extension with left-sided player Neil Martin, said: “We’ve offered Ryan a new deal and he’s thinking about it.

“There are not many others that are out of contract at the end of the season so with some of the lads who were on two-year deals we are hoping to renegotiate.

“However, there’s no reason why they would not carry on with the contracts they already have.”

Those who are already contracted for next season include skipper Kevin Hill, winger Nick Crittenden, keeper Regan Coward, defenders Jake Smeeton and Gary Bowles and midfielders Jamie Gleeson and Harry Nodwell.

Harry Montacute, who has cancelled his current deal in order to see out the season with Gillingham Town, is expected to return to Dorchester in time for the 2010/11 campaign.

Vickers added: “Kev, Jamie, Regan, Critts, Jake, Bowlesy and Nodders all have another year to run. Monty has cancelled his contract to stay at Gillingham for the rest of the season but we will look to get him back on the same sort of contract for next season.”

Meanwhile, non-contract duo Josh Llewellyn and Scott Brice have impressed Vickers since switching from rivals Weymouth.

But with the former missing the last two games through injury and the latter restricted to just two substitute appearances, the Magpies’ chief will wait a little longer before deciding their fate.

He said: “I’ve been impressed with the way they’ve conducted themselves so far, hopefully we’ll get to see them in a few more games before the season ends.”

Midfield man James Coutts agreed terms on a new two-year contract at the weekend.

* Ticket prices for Dorchester’s trip to Eastleigh on Friday have been reduced to £5 with children under the age of 12 gaining free entry.

* Dorchester Town Under-18s were due to take on Poole Town at the Avenue Stadium tonight but the match has been postponed because of a saturated pitch.
