AFC Wimbledon will release four players including defender Sam Hutchinson this summer following the conclusion of their League One season.
Hutchinson will depart the club alongside forward Josh Kelly plus youngsters Leo Young and Ethan Sutcliffe.
Hutchinson made 24 appearances for the Dons after signing in 2024, and in the 2024-25 campaign suffered a heart attack during a game where his goal secured a play-off spot for the club.
Kelly played 71 times for Wimbledon and last season spent time at National League side Woking where he made 21 appearances, scoring six goals.
Wimbledon confirmed that they have 13 players under contract and have also exercised options to keep midfielders Jake Reeves and Kai Jennings as well as winger Myles Hippolyte and forward Aron Sasu into next season.
Contracts have been offered to Steve Seddon, Callum Maycock and Harry Sidwell while the club are in discussions with Omar Bugiel, Patrick Bauer and Joe Lewis.
The Dons also confirmed that the loan deals for Nathan Asiimwe, James Tilley, Brodi Hughes, Layton Stewart and Zack Nelson have ended and they will return to their parent clubs.
"Firstly, I would like to extend our gratitude to the players and families departing the club this summer," director of football Craig Cope said.
"They have all played a crucial role in the club's progress over the past few seasons and we wish them well for the future.
"You will have noticed that we have included a 'discussions ongoing,' section into this years retained list. These players are out of contract, however we continue to engage openly with them about their future at Wimbledon."
