Sussex Senior Cup hero Scott Chamberlain is amongst five players offered extended contracts by Albion ahead of the 2008/09 season.

Wes Fogden, Doug Loft, Sam Gargan and goalkeeper John Sullivan have also been told they will be offered new contracts with the club this summer.

Chamberlain, who was a major player in Bognor Regis Town's survival in the Blue Square South this season, has been handed a new six-month deal by Albion.

Fogden, who skippered the reserves in the Senior Cup success and also helped the Rocks ensure their survival, will be offered a new one-year deal. He broke into the first team this season, after recovering from major back surgery in 2006.

Striker Gargan, who recently made his first-team bow at Bristol Rovers, Loft and Sullivan will all be offered similar terms.

Albion's eight second-year scholars will also learn their fate this afternoon, with an announcement expected on seagulls.co.uk in the next 24 hours.
