Kerry Mayo and Gary Hart are poised to stay with Albion for another year.

The long-serving pair are among the 15 players out of contract next month.

The Argus understands Mayo and Hart have appearance-related clauses written into their current deals.

Both have reached the required number of games this season to trigger new offers.

Defender Mayo made 30 League One appearances for Dean Wilkins' strugglers, 28 of them in the starting line-up.

The versatile Hart played in 23 League matches, seven of them as a substitute, in defence, midfield and attack.

Mayo, 29, has risen right through the ranks. He celebrates ten seasons with the Seagulls with a testimonial against Reading at Withdean on July 28.

His close friend Hart, 30, has given Albion nine years service since signing from non-League Essex club Stansted for £1,000.

The other 13 players waiting to resolve their futures are headed by Guy Butters, Michel Kuipers and Alexis Bertin, plus long-term injury victims Charlie Oatway, Paul Reid and Adam Hinshelwood.

Georges Santos is sure to go, while youngsters Sam Rents, Doug Loft, Wes Fogden, Richard Martin, Chris Breach and Paul Hinshelwood will discover their fates with the rest next week once the players are back from a break in Prague.
