The rebuilding work at Portadown has begun in earnest with no fewer than 14 players leaving the club.
The Ports confirmed on Thursday the players leaving Shamrock Park - enough for a full team and three subs - as they get their squad together for an immediate return to the Premiership.
Barney McKeown, Jonah Mitchell, Don De Dieu Tantale, Adam Salley, Stephen Teggart, Gledis Cakaj, Matthew Walker, Lee Upton, Billy Stedman, Alberto Balde, Greg Moorhouse, Aaron Canning and Aaron Harkin will all leave following the expiry of their contract.

The club also confirmed goalkeeper Jethren Barr will depart Shamrock Park by mutual consent.
Ondrej Mastny, Josh Archer and Cathair Friel , who were on loan at Shamrock Park last season, have returned to their parent clubs.
It's not all one-way traffic though as work has commenced on new recruits with Caolin Coyle and Ross Redman signing on.
"We've still work to do, I've been working really hard over the last few weeks and that will continue over the next couple of weeks," Currie told We Are Ports TV.
"We want to get our squad finalised so we are ready to go here come June 26.
"We'll also keep an eye on what comes available from the likes of Linfield, Glentoran, Crusaders, Coleraine and teams like that to see if we can add one or two of real substance near the end of the window."
