Midfielders Ollie Shannon and Danny Gosset have extended their stay at Maes Tegid.
Shannon, 24, joined the club in January following a spell in the USA with Atlanta United, making 27 appearances for their reserve side.
The midfielder made three starts and two substitute appearances for Bala before the league season was ended.
Bangor-born Danny Gosset, 24, signs a contract extension having been given the all-clear from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in January and had progress in his recovery from a break in his femur.
Gosset and Shannon join Anthony Stephens, Steve Leslie, Will Evans, Alex Ramsay, Lassana Mendes, Jonny Spittle, Andrew Burns, Kieran Smith, Chris Venables and Nathan Peate in the Lakesiders squad for the 2020-2021 season.
Speaking of his delight at the news of Gosset’s contract extension, manager Colin Caton said, “Danny Gosset has had the all-clear after having a scan and speaking to his specialist at Gobowen Hospital last week.”
Caton added, “The muscles have grown back well and it’s brilliant to have him back. Everybody has stuck by him, his strength and his belief carried the lads to such a good season as well.
We all had a great bond and it’s fantastic to have him with us and it’s going to be like having a brand new signing.
“It’s great that he’s going to be available for this season. I can’t wait to work with him again and I am really looking forward to that.”
“I’m expecting big things from Danny and what a story it’s going to be when he gets back out on that pitch.”
