Chairboys news - themaclad - 18-05-2023
Dominic Gape is leaving Wycombe after seven years at the club.
Gape, whose contract expires this summer, has made more than 200 appearances for the Chairboys and is a popular figure among fans, having been involved in two promotions.
The midfielder, 28, played a key role as Wycombe went from League Two to the Championship under former manager Gareth Ainsworth.
His winning goal at Chesterfield in 2018 clinched promotion to League One.
Gape, signed from Southampton in 2016, has been hampered by injury problems in recent seasons.

Wycombe Wanderers have signed experienced defender Richard Keogh following his release by Ipswich Town.
The 36-year-old is the Chairboys' first signing of the summer transfer window.
Keogh had a three-match loan spell at Wycombe in 2005, while he was with Bristol City.
"He's still got that hunger to extend his career and to achieve more success, and I think it's a really important signing for us to make," boss Matt Bloomfield told the club website.
"Richard's someone I've known for nearly 20 years and he's had a fantastic career at a higher level, as well as playing in a European Championship for Ireland.
"I know how highly regarded he was at Ipswich last season, even when he wasn't in the team, because of the help and guidance he was able to give to his team-mates."
Keogh made 16 appearances for Ipswich in 2022-23 as they won promotion to the Championship by finishing second.
He began his career at Stoke City but his longest spell was with Derby County, where he played more than 300 league games over seven years.
His international career brought him 21 caps for the Republic of Ireland and he was a member of their squad at Euro 2016.
Wycombe finished ninth in League One last season and start the new campaign with a home game against Exeter City on 5 August.

League One side Wycombe Wanderers have signed Manchester City midfielder Kian Breckin on a season-long loan.
Breckin's eight goals in 24 appearances helped City's under-21 side win the Premier League 2 title last season.
The 19-year-old is the Chairboys' second summer signing, after the arrival of defender Richard Keogh.
"Kian has been on our radar for a long time and we're thrilled that we've been able to bring him here," said Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield.
"There were a lot of clubs in for him, but we know that the environment we've got here, in terms of the way we are going to play and the culture of looking after and developing players on and off the pitch, makes this an attractive place for players to come."

League One side Wycombe Wanderers have signed Manchester City midfielder Kian Breckin on a season-long loan and Shrewsbury Town captain Luke Leahy.
Breckin, 19, scored eight goals in 24 appearances as City's under-21 side win the Premier League 2 title last season.
Leahy, 30, was Town's top scorer last season with 12 goals and has signed for an undisclosed fee on a permanent deal.
The arrivals bring Wycombe's number of summer signings up to three, after the arrival of defender Richard Keogh.
"Kian has been on our radar for a long time and we're thrilled that we've been able to bring him here," said Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield.
"There were a lot of clubs in for him, but we know that the environment we've got here, in terms of the way we are going to play and the culture of looking after and developing players on and off the pitch, makes this an attractive place for players to come."
Versatile Leahy, who can play on the left side of defence and midfield, began his career in Scotland with Falkirk before having spells with Walsall and Bristol Rovers.
He has joined for an undisclosed fee after submitting a transfer request at Shrewsbury, while Wycombe have not revealed the length of his contract.
"Luke has just had an outstanding season with Shrewsbury Town and I'm delighted that he's agreed to come and join us," said Bloomfield.
"He's got great battling qualities and he's a leader, which are really key components for me."

Wycombe Wanderers have signed wing-back Harry Boyes from promoted Premier League side Sheffield United on a season-long loan.
He becomes Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield's fourth summer signing.
That follows the arrival of veteran defender Richard Keogh, teenage Manchester City midfielder Kian Breckin and Shrewsbury Town captain Luke Leahy.
Boyes, 21, has been out on loan four times but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blades.
He was with sixth-tier side Bradford Park Avenue for two months in the 2020-21 season, then spent the season on loan in the National League in 2021-22 with Solihull Moors.
And he had two separate loans in League One in the 2022-23 season - first with Forest Green Rovers, then the second half of the campaign at the right end of the table with Lincoln City.
Wycombe, who finished ninth in League One last season, eight points off the play-off places, are scheduled to start the 2023-24 season at home to Exeter City on Saturday, 5 August.

Wycombe Wanderers have signed former Bristol City defender Joe Low following a trial at Adams Park.
The 21-year-old Wales Under-21 international only made two appearances for the Robins but played 16 games on loan at Walsall last season.
Chairboys boss Matt Bloomfield saw Low, who is 6ft 5ins tall, in action against previous club Colchester in February.
"Joe's a player with a lot of potential and he's done really well during his time with us this summer," he said.
Wycombe owner likely to sell up within four years
Low, who is Wycombe's sixth signing since the end of last season, was called into the senior Wales squad for games against Armenia and Turkey last month but has yet to win his first cap.
Details of his contract have not been disclosed by the club.

Nottingham Forest striker Dale Taylor has joined League One side Wycombe Wanderers on a season-long loan deal.
The 19-year-old spent half of last season on loan at Burton, scoring five goals in 20 appearances.
Taylor made his senior international debut for Northern Ireland in June, playing in the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Denmark and Kazakhstan.
"Dale is a player I've been tracking for a long time," said Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield.
"I know there were a lot of clubs at this level trying to bring him in, so it's a fantastic signing for us and I'm delighted that we've got it done."
Taylor has made one appearance for Forest, as a substitute in an EFL Cup tie, since signing in April 2022, and becomes Wycombe's eighth signing since finishing ninth in League One last season.

Wycombe Wanderers have signed West Ham midfielder Freddie Potts in a season-long loan deal.
The 19-year-old has yet to play in the Premier League, but made two Europa Conference League appearances for the Hammers last season.
Potts is the ninth signing by the Chairboys since they finished ninth in League One last season.
"He plays with real energy and athleticism in the middle of the park," said Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield.
"We went along to watch West Ham train at the end of last season and Freddie was a player who stood out, and we identified him as someone we'd love to bring in on loan, so I'm really pleased we've been able to make it happen."

The 28-year-old scored nine goals in 45 appearances for the Trotters and left the Toughsheet Community Stadium with less than a year left on his deal.
Sadlier also had a loan spell at Leyton Orient last season, helping them win League Two promotion as champions.
The former West Ham academy player is Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield's 12th signing of the summer.

The 20-year-old has been on trial with the Chairboys since the summer of 2023 while continuing to play for Athletic in the Essex Senior League.
Details of Kone's contract at Adams Park have not been disclosed, but the club say it is a "permanent" move.
He has scored 21 goals this season and was paraded to Wycombe fans before Monday's game against Bristol Rovers.
