Northampton Town will release defenders Danny May and Brett Johnson, midfielder Joe Burnell and striker Poul Hubertz at the end of the season.

Boss Stuart Gray will offer new contracts to Andy Holt and Ryan Gilligan but no decision has yet been made about striker Adebayo Akinfenwa.

Gray said: "If we are to continue to try and move forward we need to create room in the squad to try and improve.

"I have nothing but praise for the lads who will not be offered new terms."
