John Mousinho’s League One title winner were broken up days after the conclusion of their never-to-be-forgotten season.
There was surprises in last year’s retained list as some big calls were made over the squad, as they likes of Joe Morrell, Sean Raggett and Joe Rafferty moved on.
The players who left have been through varying fortunes since, so we’ve documented how they’ve fared.
9. Jack Sparkes
Move to Peterborough didn't go as hope with Sparkes' side struggling and the left-back loaned to Chesterfield after 18 league starts. Made 12 appearances for Paul Cook's side as they lost in the League Two play-offs and has been transfer listed by the Posh. Photo: David Lowndes
10. Gavin Whyte
Left Pompey at the end of the transfer window but didn't move anywhere until linking up with Derry City in January, where the winger says he's now enjoying his football again with his side fifth in the League of Ireland table. Photo: GS
11. Joe Morrell
Looked he was coming to the end of his injury pain last summer after suffering a chondral defect issue in his knee at Oxford in February last year, but it was the start of a season of woe. Slipped in a gym which led to screws coming out of the cartilage and is only now coming to the end of his rehab. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
12. Josh Martin
Despite trialling for Italian club Como, who are managed by Cesc Fabregas, Martin struggled to find a club after his Pompey release. He eventually moved to Notts County in September 2024, yet his short-term contract wasn’t renewed in January following 12 appearances and one goal for the League Two club. Moved on to Newport County where he made 14 appearances as his side finished just outside the relegation places, but was released at the end of the season. Photo: Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
