| contents | We provide a characterisation of when a single-element contraction of a transversal matroid is itself transversal. Using this characterisation, we define a new class of transversal matroids closed under minors, which we call path-circular matroids. Path-circular matroids generalise both of the well-known classes of bicircular matroids and multi-path matroids. |
