On Thursday Swansea City published their retained list for the 2022-23 season.
On the surface of things, there was little to be surprised at. Three first-team stars left the building - Ben Hamer, Korey Smith and Yan Dhanda. Swansea head coach Russell Martin had confirmed the first two were leaving earlier this month, with neither departure coming as a massive shock. Dhanda has been barely used by Martin since his arrival in south Wales.
Three goalkeepers from the under-23s - Jamie Searle, Nico Defreitas-Hansen and Josh Gould - are also exiting stage right, while 12 more academy members will also be leaving.
