Wales' most-capped men's footballer Chris Gunter has been released by Championship club Reading.
The 96-capped full-back, 31, joined the Royals from Nottingham Forest following Reading's promotion to the Premier League in 2012.
The man with more Wales caps than any other now leaves the Madejski Stadium for good after eight years and 314 appearances.
Reading were in the relegation places when Mark Bowen succeeded Jose Gomes as manager last autumn, but ended the season 14th.
Gunter endured a difficult start to the season under Gomes, spending the entire months of August, September and October last year with the under-23s as he seemingly fell down the pecking order.
The former Cardiff City player was even told last summer to find a new club and was left out of the pre-season tour of Spain, but a transfer never materialised and he was sent to train with the under-23s along with fellow exiled star Garath McCleary, who has also now been released.
Bowen was later appointed head coach in October 2019, and Gunter went on to make 20 Championship appearances this season.
Gunter is one of five first-team players to be let go at the end of the month as their contracts came to an end, and is joined by McCleary, Jordan Obita, Charlie Adam and Tyler Blackett.
A club statement said: "Model professionals throughout their careers at Madejski Stadium, we would like to sincerely thank them for their hard work and dedication to the club, whilst wishing them the very best of luck in their future careers."
