"They leave the club with our very best wishes and we thank them for their efforts during the campaign.

"All our loan players will return to their parent club, again we thank them for their contribution.

"There will be further playing squad announcements over the next few days and weeks."

It is thought the departures announced by Town leave Nathan Clarke, Michael Duckworth, Ryan Sellers, Sam Johnson, Matty Kosylo and Jonathan Edwards as Town's out-of-contract players whose futures are yet to be decided.
