Pompey announced their retained list last week, with five first-team players told they were free to leave the club upon the expiration of their contracts next month.
Kusini Yengi, Alexander Milosevic, Cohem Bramall, Tom Lowery and Anthony Scully were all informed of the club’s decision to make them free agents as work on assembling next season’s squad began in earnest.
But they’re not the only ones who once called Fratton Park home to be on the look out for new employers this summer.
Here’s 17 others who will find themselves without a club come the end of next month as the scramble begins to find would-be takers for their talents.

11. Josh Koroma - Huddersfield
The one-time Pompey loanee finished the season as Huddersfield's top scorer with 12 goals. That makes the Terriers' decision to let him leave on a free a surprise one. Koroma endured a frustrating spell at Pompey over the first half of the 2022-23 season, when he scored five goals in 24 appearances. | Getty Images Photo: Pete Norton
12. Ryan Schofield - Morecambe
The keeper has been released by Morecambe following their relegation from League Two. Schofield - who made six appearances for Pompey in 2023-24, all of which came in cup competitions - made five appearances for Derek Adams' side following his move there in January. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
