Everton boss David Moyes has released several more players, bringing the number of summer departures from Goodison Park to 12.

Last week it was decided that Thomas Gravesen's loan spell would not be extended and that goalkeeper Stefan Wessels be given a free transfer, now another batch of players will leave Goodison Park.

Defender Anthony Gardner, who has not played a first-team match since his January loan from Spurs, will return to the North London club.

Also departing is Icelandic youngster Bjarni Vidarsson, who has spent the last five months on loan to FC Twente in Holland. He made one first-team appearance this season in the UEFA Cup tie against AZ Alkmaar.

Also released is defender Patrick Boyle, who has been on loan at Crewe.

A group of youngsters have also not been offered new terms. They are Shaun Densmore, Steven Morrison, James Hall, Ryan Harpur, Aidan Downes, Stephen Connor and James Jones.

Reserve player of the year John Irving has been offered a new deal, along with Irish defender Darren Dennehy.
