Hide AdFeatherstone is one of five Pools players whose deals expire this summer, with Carl Magnay, Liam Noble, Luke Williams and Scott Loach all yet to have their decisions announced.
Former Hull, Hereford, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Walsall midfielder Featherstone, 30, has played more than 200 games for Pools since signing in October 2014.
The future of the others remains uncertain.
Williams is likely to get a pay-as-you-play deal, while Magnay could also be kept on as defensive cover.
Noble's future remains in the balance, despite his 13 goals for Pools last season.
