Rovers keen to keep young stars

Tranmere boss Les Parry has revealed the club have opened negotiations with young homegrown prospects Aaron Cresswell and Dale Jennings with a view to extending their contracts at Prenton Park.

Cresswell, 21, who has established himself as Rovers' first-choice left-back this season, has less than six months of his current deal to run.

Jennings, 18, signed his first professional deal in October and is tied to the club until June 2012.

Parry told the Daily Post: "The process of planning for next season has already started here.

"We are speaking at the moment to Aaron Cresswell and we were speaking to Dale Jennings to see if he wants to extend his contract."
