In total, the 37-year-old played 241 games for the club and won three league titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups, and a Champions League.

Meanwhile, backup goalkeeper Tom Heaton was expected to be among those players released but the 39-year-old is in talks for a new deal for the upcoming season.

The club also announced the departure of academy players Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan, and Tom Wooster on the expiry of their respective contracts.
