Pompey announced their retained list more than two weeks ago as John Mousinho began his preparations for next season.
Kusini Yengi was the most high-profile departure along with Tom Lowery, Anthony Scully, Alexander Milosevic and Cohen Bramall.

In fact, there are 25 players who have once called Fratton Park their home who have since been released from their respective clubs.
