Former Premier League captain one of TEN players released by EFL side after disappointing campaign

A Football League club has released as many as 10 players from their ranks following the end of a disappointing season, including their longest serving star.

After seven consecutive defeats to bring their campaign in League One to an end, the side finished an under-whelming 10th in the standings, well short of promotion back to the Championship.

Very rarely do any teams start a new season with the exact same faces as they ended the previous, but as well as releasing 10 stars, the League One outfit will also see four loan players return to parent clubs.
