The duo, who both featured in their play-off semi-final defeat to Wycombe last week, join River Allen, Matt Lecointe, Marvin Morgan, Ollie Norburn and Jamie Richards in departing Home Park along with the retiring Paul Wotton.

Lewi Alessandra, Tyler Harvey, Anthony O’Connor and back up goalkeeper James Bittner have been offered fresh deals while John Sheridan is taking up an option to extend the contracts of centre-backs Aaron Bentley and Peter Hartley for a further season.

Chairman James Brent told the club’s website: “On behalf of all Pilgrims, I’d like to thank the players who are leaving Home Park for the part they have played in the life of the club.

“Despite the disappointing end to the campaign, we have enjoyed our best season for a number of years.

“They have all played their part in the club’s resurgence, and we are grateful for their contribution.”
