Loan players Daniel Boateng, Danny Haynes and Duncan Watmore all return to their parent clubs.

The Club would like to thank the players for their service to the Club.

The list confirms suspicions of a mass turnaround in the playing staff this summer and fans will be eager to see signing targets confirmed as under fire manager Terry Butcher attempts to take Hibs back to the Premiership at the first time of asking.

There are still rumours circulating regarding the futures of both club captain Liam Craig and Northern Ireland international Ryan McGivern with both reportedly being told they’re free to find new clubs.
