Sky Bet Championship: A look at the free agents available with clubs releasing retained lists


With the 2018/19 season coming to an end, we take a look at every free agent who will be available after leaving clubs in the Sky Bet Championship.

Each year, clubs will announce their retained list outlining those players out of contract who will be offered a new deal and those who will be allowed to leave.

Usually, clubs do this the week after their campaign has come to an end, although it isn't uncommon for some to take longer than that.

The transfer window is now open and players will be looking for their next move, particularly those listed below who are on the hunt for a new club with no attached transfer fee.

Here, we include those teams who have been relegated this season, alongside teams coming down from the Premier League and the promoted sides from Sky Bet League One.
