Wanderers lead the way in League One in terms of squad retention for the second year in a row following the conclusion of the transfer window.

The Whites made five signings in total, bringing in Jack Iredale, Conor Bradley, Eoin Toal and Owen Beck, as well as re-signing England Under-21 international James Trafford on loan from Manchester City.

The club has retained 85.9 per cent of its squad from last season, according to football analyst Ben Mayhew.

The figure is calculated based on the number of minutes each player managed last season, and Wanderers find themselves at the top of the list following the conclusion of the window.

Wycombe Wanderers (82.1%) and Cambridge United (80.7%) also make the top three across the division.

Meanwhile, Exeter (77.5%), Port Vale (75.5%), Plymouth (74.5%) and Bristol Rovers (72.2%) also rank highly.

At the other end of the list, Derby County’s figure is just 38.1% following a plethora of new signings under the new ownership.

Lincoln City (43.7%), Barnsley (47.3%), MK Dons (47.9%) and Charlton Athletic (48.5%) also sit near the bottom of the list.

Only seven clubs across the top four divisions have a higher figure than Wanderers, including Liverpool, West Ham, Aston Villa, Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League.

Championship sides Bristol City and Wigan Athletic also have a higher percentage, while no League Two clubs can better the Whites in that regard.
