Jordan Shipley, Aaron Pierre and Jamal Blackman are among eight players released by relegated Shrewsbury Town.
Midfielder Shipley, 27, leaves after three seasons with Salop in which he scored 12 times in 111 league appearances following his move from Coventry City.
Thirty-two-year-old defender Pierre's second spell with Town ends after 50 league games having returned to Shropshire from AFC Wimbledon in October 2023.
Goalkeeper Blackman, 31, was signed by then boss Gareth Ainsworth at the end of December on a short-term deal, having working with him previously at Wycombe Wanderers.
He replaced Toby Savin, who joined National League side Halifax on loan, and played the remaining 27 games of the season.
Also leaving Croud Meadow are Joe Young, Morgan Feeney, Jordan Rossiter, Dom Gape, David Wheeler.
The club have taken up the option of extending the contract of midfielder Taylor Perry by another year after impressing new boss Michael Appleton in the closing stages of the campaign.
Appleton, who signed a two-year contract at the start of the month after initially replacing Ainsworth on an interim basis in late March, has 14 players on the books ahead of a summer rebuild as he tries to get the club back into League One.

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