Portsmouth have released eight out-of-contract players including Ben Chorley and Nicky Shorey.

The experienced defenders will not be handed new contracts at Fratton Park and join Dan Butler, Tom Craddock, Joe Devera, Danny East, Wes Fogden, and Bradley Tarbuck through the exit door. New boss Paul Cook has taken up the option of extending Ben Close's contract for another year, while Adam Webster has been offered a new deal and further talks are planned with Ryan Taylor.
