The first five have all signed but I haven't seen anything about Ratcliffe. Is he a free agent as of today - and maybe doesn't fancy his chances of playing with four other first team keepers involved in pre-season?
Luthra has been given the chances Ratcliffe hasn’t and is now with the first team squad up in Scotland. Based on their performances for the Under 23s last season, Luthra is no improvement on Ratcliffe, but it’s hard to see a future for the latter here now - there was a time when he was third choice keeper at the club, now I’d say he’s fifth in line.
