Leeds United have announced that 11 players will leave the club at the expiration of their contracts this month, including Luke Ayling, Lewis Bate and Ian Poveda.
Defender Sam Byram triggered a clause within his contract which extends his stay at the club by a further year.
Talks are ongoing with captain Liam Cooper as well as Jamie Shackleton.
Ayling, who made 268 appearances for Leeds, spent the second half of the season on loan at Middlesbrough and will sign for the club permanently.

Stuart Dallas is also among the exits announced by Leeds, although the 33-year-old announced his retirement from football in April after two years sidelined with injury.
Bate’s spell at Elland Road comes to an end after making just four senior appearances since joining from Chelsea’s academy in 2021.
Poveda made 36 senior appearances for Leeds and joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan in the second half of last season.
Charlie Allen, Keenan Carole, Cuba Dibboe, Scott Godden, Morten Spencer, Harvey Sutcliffe and Dani van den Heuvel will also leave the club at the end of their contracts.
New contracts have been offered to Harry Christy, Cody Drameh, Joseph Snowdon and Luca Thomas.
Scholars Connor Douglas, Reuben Lopata-White, Joseph Richards, Daniel Toulson and Marley Wilson have all been offered professional contracts.
