Championship and League One retained lists: Every free agent available to Bristol City

Bristol City have confirmed their released list and while there were no genuine surprises, it represented a line in the sand of sorts and a chance to look forward as the status of a number of players was decided.

Jay Dasilva has played his last game for the Robins, while those of former promise in their youth, such as Taylor Moore and James Morton will also be leaving Ashton Gate.

While an interesting time of the year, it’s never pleasant to see individuals released - particularly those from within academies yet to experience first-team football - but with the financial state of the EFL, at the same time, free agency is a hugely important period for clubs outside of the Premier League and therefore a prime opportunity for players.

With options ranging from experienced veterans to untested youngsters and established Championship performers in between, if teams get their recruitment right, there are some serious value transfers to be made.

With the deadline for clubs to have submitted their lists passing on Saturday, the majority of clubs in the Championship and League One have outlined who’s going, staying and still in discussions over a new deal, as listed below…
