League Two champions Notts County will not be offering new deals to eight players. Russell Hoult, Kevin Pilkington, Jamie Clapham, Matt Hamshaw, Ben Fairclough, Ade Akinbiyi, Sean Canham and Delroy Facey are the out-of-contract players who will be released.

"I would like to go on record and say a big thank you to all of the players this season. Unfortunately, on the back of contracts ending and promotion gained, there are obviously going to be changes to the squad," said Magpies boss Steve Cotterill, whose own future at the club has yet to be decided.

"Every single one of the players not offered new terms has been an integral part of Notts County's successful season.

"I am sure that every player will get fixed up with a new contract at a new club and I would like to send them my personal best wishes."
