The trio, who are out of contract at the end of the month, have been informed they will not be offered fresh deals.

As a result, they aren’t involved in Blues training ahead of next month’s League One play-off semi-final against Oxford United.

McGee had been on loan at Bradford since January, featuring four times for the League Two side.

However, with their season curtailed, and out of the play-off positions, McGee is no longer required at Valley Parade. Effectively, that also finishes his time at Fratton Park.

He totalled 55 appearances following his arrival from Spurs for an undisclosed fee in July 2017.

In the case of May, he moved on loan to Swindon in July, hoping for regular first-team football at League Two level to boost his development.

The midfielder would suffer disappointment, though, failing to establish himself in a side which would go on to take the title and clinch a League One return.

His 13 appearances for the Robins consisted of just three starts, before recalled by Kenny Jackett in January.

May was instead handed a loan switch to National League team Boreham Wood, only for that to also end prematurely when their season was curtailed.

Handed his Pompey debut from the bench against Bury in April 2015, May went on to record 30 appearances for the club.

Finally, Casey has endured a frustrating season, where he has featured on loan at the Hawks and the Rocks.

The towering centre-half failed to add to the three Checkatrade Trophy appearances he made last season, when he partnered Christian Burgess during the run to Wembley success.

Pompey had an option on Casey, who signed professional forms last summer. However, the club elected not to activate it.
