The EFL have now published the full retained and released lists for the summer of 2017 for all football league clubs.
All clubs had a deadline for publishing which players would be retained and released following the conclusion of the 2016/17 season, and although the full lists were only published by the efl.com yesterday morning, fans will largely already know which players are likely to move on.
The details from this list are accurate as of May 20, but the caveat is some players will have ongoing negotiations and some may have been concluded, but as per the best of my knowledge I’ve updated appropriately – so advance apologies for any errors.
So, for Blackburn Rovers and the key to symbols is:
(o) players under 24 year with a contract expiry of June 30 with an offer.
(h) players who do not hold a current contract, but club retains registration.
(m) player under 24 years employed on a monthly contract as per May 20.
(w) player under 24 years employed on a week to week basis as per May 20.
