Midfield pair Joe Rothwell and Bradley Johnson have left Blackburn Rovers after their contracts expired.
Rothwell departs after four years at Ewood Park since arriving from Oxford United.
The 27-year-old made 161 appearances and scored 11 goals, including playing 41 Championship games this season.
Johnson spent three years with the club following a switch from Derby County, with the 35-year-old featuring 86 times for them.
Rothwell's final game was in the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, which ended Blackburn's chances of making the play-offs.
However, Johnson's role in the team had diminished this season as he only started eight games, the last of which was a 1-0 loss to Stoke on Easter Monday.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
