While many players still having their futures up in the air, five players have been released today along with two that had already departed.
Brian Smikle leaves after starting six Conference games, with 18 further sub appearances. The former loanee never officially signed a long term deal with the club.
Michael Townsend made a total of 100 appearances for the Bulls, netting once, but failed to appear at all in 2013 due to injury. The former Cheltenham man had occasionally captained the Bulls.
Simon Clist made as many starts for the Bulls during his loan spell in the first half of the 11/12 season as he did during his 18 month contract with the club, with his last appearance a 14 minute spell against Telford in January.
Andy Gallinagh missed three months of the season through injury, a fact that probably cost him a longer stay at Edgar Street. The former Cheltenham man was a regular until Christmas but struggled afterwards.
Dan Hanford started the season between the sticks with James Bittner injured and quickly impressed, but he seemed to fall out of favour quickly when Bittner was fit and wasn't even named on the bench on a regular basis.
Also departing are James McQuilkin and Will Evans. McQuilkin was released a month ago but remains under contract after failing to agree a settlement. Evans will be released from his contract once his loan deal at Newport expires after he agreed a deal.
Also leaving is Ian Rodgerson. The 47 year old spent eight years in total as a player at Edgar Street, plus two further years as physio.
