It’s that time of year that clubs have to reluctantly tell a number of players that they’re no longer required. It’s also the time that we farewell some of the games greats who have chosen to retire on their own behalf. We’ll keep this list updated throughout the off-season to make it easy for you to keep track.

It’s also important to remember that delisted players can easily join another club without having to go through the drafts thanks to free agency. The free agency period opens on September 30 and closes on the 18th of October. You can view all the important off-season dates here.
