Former Bolton Wanderers duo Will Jaaskelainen needed a fresh challenge away while Luke Murphy intending to continue his playing career were reasons behind their departures from Crewe Alexandra.
That's the view of Crewe assistant boss Lee Bell. The Railwaymen were relegated from League One and will be back in the fourth tier of English football once more in the 2022/23 campaign.
The Cheshire club released its retained list and the duo were among those being released. Jaaskelainen is son of Wanderers legend Jussi and came through the youth team ranks at Bolton.
