Club veteran Aaron Webster has also not been offered a contract and has been told to prove himself in pre-season, as his manager explains.
Peschisolido said, 'Aaron has done a good job for us this season but due to fitness issues we haven't seen the best of him, He needs to come back in pre season and show me that he has looked after himself. If he does that we will sit down and discuss a contract.'
Ryan Austin is also yet to sign a new deal. The defender has been offered a short term contract by the club as he looks to return to fitness and form.
Michael Simpson, Shaun Kelly, Marc Goodfellow and Romuald Boco will also be released
