Bristol Rovers have confirmed that long-serving midfielder Chris Lines will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.
Lines, 33, came through the club's academy and has made more than 300 appearances in two spells.
Nine others, including Wales international defender Tom Lockyer, have also been released.
Graham Coughlan's side ended the season 15th in League One, having been in the relegation zone when he took over.
Former Sheffield Wednesday player Lines helped Rovers to three promotions, including back-to-back successes which lifted the club from the National League to League One in 2015 and 2016.
