HALIFAX – Captain Andre Rampersad, who has been with the franchise since Day 1, is returning for a seventh season with the Halifax Wanderers.

The Canadian Premier League team has exercised 2025 contract options for the 29-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international midfielder as well as goalkeeper Aiden Rushenas, defender Wesley Timoteo and forwards Massimo Ferrin and Ryan Telfer.

But midfielder Aidan Daniels and defender Zachary Fernandez appear on the way out.

Daniels and Fernandez each spent three seasons in Halifax, registering the second-most and third-most appearances by a Wanderers player at 80 and 77, respectively.

The club declined options on Daniels, defenders Julian Dunn, Cale Loughrey and Riley Ferrazzo, and midfielder Tomas Giraldo. It remains in negotiations on a new deal with Dunn, a former Toronto FC player.

Ferrin and Telfer combined for 11 goals last season.

The club says contracts for goalkeeper Yann Fillion, Fernandez and fellow defender Dan Nimick and midfielder Lorenzo Callegari expire at the end of the month, with the team in talks with Callegari about returning in 2025.

Halifax also says assistant coaches Jorden Feliciano and Jed Davies are leaving the team.

“Our thanks go out to all departing players and coaches for their efforts during their time in Halifax, and we wish them all the best in the next step in their careers,” sporting director Matt Fegan said in a statement. “They have each left their mark on the community and positively represented the club and city throughout their time. They’ll always receive a warm welcome back to Wanderers Grounds in the future.”
