Striker Jonson Clarke-Harris is among four Peterborough United players that have been released.
The 29-year-old, who topped the League One scoring charts twice in three years between 2021 and 2023, scored 87 goals in 190 appearances over four years with club.
He scored 13 times in the 2023-24 season as Peterborough's bid for promotion ended at the play-off semi-final stage for the second successive season.
The prolific forward has remained at London Road until the end of his contract despite despite being transfer listed 12 months ago.
Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson said Clarke-Harris "will never be forgotten for what he did" for the club, having memorably fired them to promotion in 2021 with 31 league goals.
"Of course, at the start of this season, we felt he would be leaving twice, particularly the first window, but stayed and by that time I had made my mind up that I wanted to go in a different direction," Ferguson said.
"I wish him all the best, I am sure he will get a good move and he deserves it."
