Two players loaned to Workington Reds during the season have been released by their parent clubs.
Brad Carroll, who finished the season at Borough Park, has been released by NPL West Division champions Bury. His time at Gigg Lane was hampered by injury.
AFC Fylde, who won the National North title, have released Luke Hunter after only signing him in November from Penrith.
Hunter played five games for Reds, scoring two goals, before being recalled by Fylde but he did not get any further opportunities to impress with the Coasters.
Reds manager Billy Barr is expected to talk to both players about permanent deals with the West Cumbrians for next season.
Meanwhile Reds have confirmed that Matty Tymon has announced his retirement from football following his second spell with the club.
The 36-year-old rejoined Reds from Whitby for the closing weeks of the season and played his part in the successful survival battle.
A Reds spokesman said: “Matty has been a fantastic servant to the club across both spells, bringing experience, professionalism and quality every time he pulled on the shirt. Everyone at the club would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him all the very best in his retirement.”
The club has also confirmed that both Steven Swinglehurst and Harry McLinden will be departing the club this summer.
Swinglehurst has been a solid defender who would have played more games but for persistent injury problems while McLinden has only had a couple of appearances on the subs bench without coming on, for the first team.
The club said: “Steven has been a huge presence over the past two seasons, playing a key role both on and off the pitch, and his commitment to the Reds has been clear for all to see.”
In fact Swinglehurst has quickly been fixed up with a move to Gretna in the Lowland League.
“Unfortunately, things haven’t quite worked out as either Harry or the club would have hoped, but we thank him for his efforts during his time at Borough Park and wish him well for the future.
“We place on record our sincere thanks to all three players for their service and wish them every success for the future.”
