Accrington manager John Coleman has launched a major clear-out by releasing 11 first-team players.

Andy Todd will also be leaving the Fraser Eagle Stadium and returning to full-time employers Rotherham after his loan deal ended.

Graham Branch, David Brown, Martin Fearon, Jay Harris, Mark King, David Mannix, Lee McEvilly, Leighton McGivern, Mark Roberts, Sean Webb and Shaun Whalley have all been told to look for new clubs for next season.

"It is a hard time of the year for managers having to let players go, however we haven't performed as well as we would have liked this season and I have to make sure that we are a better side next season," said Coleman.

"All the lads that are leaving us have been great to work with, they have given their all for Accrington Stanley and on behalf of everyone at the club I wish them all the best for the future."

Sixteen players remain under contract or have been offered new deals by Stanley.
