Everyone at City would like to thank Jay Benn, Sam Clucas, Ali Smith and Tyler Walker after confirmation they will leave the club this summer.
Benn, Clucas, Smith and Walker leave at the conclusion of their contracts.
Clucas is keen to continue his playing career, but the Imps have made clear the door is open for him to start his coaching journey with the club when he is ready to do so.
Adam Jackson and Ben House will remain with City after the club took up options to extend their deals.
There are ongoing discussions with Paudie O’Connor and Sean Roughan, who are out of contract.
