Swansea City have published their retained list for the 2022-23 season, with six players from the first team and under-23s squad leaving the club when their contracts expire.
Ben Hamer, Korey Smith and Yan Dhanda are the headline acts to exit the Swansea.com Stadium, although their departures have been well documented. Also heading out of the door are Jamie Searle, Nico Defreitas-Hansen and Josh Gould, while 12 academy players will also leave this summer.
Scott Butler, Rio Campbell, Ben Erickson, Cameron Evans, Jaden Forrester, Jacob Jones, Dylan Morgan, Ryan Bassett, Joshua Edwards, Aaron Hillier, Dylan Perkins and Tyler Evans will have not been handed fresh terms.

Academy men Josh Thomas, Kai Ludvigsen, Kian Jenkins and Ruben Davies have been offered new contracts.
Head coach Russell Martin revealed before the end of the campaign that keeper Hamer and midfielder Smith would be leaving the club, and he paid tribute to them for their services.
“We have been chatting with them both about their situations since January, and the understanding of the financial capacity we have for next season,” said the Swansea boss earlier this month.
“They are both leaving and we will be sad to see them go because of how they are culturally around the place, and what they have given us. Korey has played in a number of positions and done brilliantly in all of them, he has really added value to the team and really helped the young guys on the team.
“He has never let anyone down, he is a great team player and he goes with our best wishes. I have no doubt he will be a great team-mate and a real good player wherever he goes next. With Ben, he has probably been one of our most important players when you consider when he came into the team. We had had a difficult start to the season, he had been ill with Covid when we came in.
“But he brought a real experience and real calm, and the way he handled himself was incredible. He has been huge for us, and I told him just the other day how much we appreciated how he has conducted himself.
“He helped us grow as a team, to implement our ideas. He took it on so well, and he has been so supportive of Andy Fisher since he has come in. Ben has been disappointed to be out of the team, as any player should be, but he has always backed Andy and he also goes with our best wishes."
Dhanda leaves the club after four years in south Wales, scoring five goals and making 63 appearances in that period.
