Change is coming to The Shay Stadium this summer as Halifax Town prepare for a significant roster overhaul. Six players will officially depart when their contracts expire at the end of the National League season, marking the end of an era for the Shaymen.

The departing sextet includes Florent Hoti, Jack Jenkins, Nat Ford, Sean Tarima, Tom Pugh, and Zak Emmerson. Each player brought their own unique contributions to the squad, but the club has decided to move in a new direction as they look to build for the future.

In addition to these permanent departures, Halifax will also say goodbye to four loan players who are returning to their parent clubs. Ash Palmer, Billy Waters, Kieron Morris, and Tommy Lavery all made valuable contributions during their temporary spells at the club, but they'll now head back to their respective teams as the summer transfer window approaches.

This squad shake-up comes after a season of mixed results for the Shaymen. Halifax finished eighth in the National League standings for the 2025-26 campaign, sitting just one position outside the playoff places. However, the 11-point gap between them and the top seven highlights the work needed to close the distance and compete for promotion next season.

For fans looking to support the team through this transition, now is the perfect time to stock up on official Halifax Town gear. Whether you're cheering from the stands or watching from home, wearing the club's colors shows your commitment through every high and low of the rebuild ahead.
