Walsall captain among four players released

Club captain Daniels made 115 appearances during his three-and-a-half year stay at Bescot, scoring four goals. 

The Montserrat international has struggled with injury over the past 18 months and was restricted to just 11 outings this term. 

McEntee has also informed Walsall of his decision to pursue an opportunity elsewhere, with the Irishman heavily linked with a summer switch to Scottish side Hearts. 

The 24-year-old, who signed from Newcastle United in 2022, netted six times in 79 matches for the club. 

Earing also leaves after scoring nine goals in 114 matches across three seasons and will be followed out the exit door by Johnson. 

Johnson initially impressed on loan at Walsall in 2022 - scoring 15 goals in 30 matches in all competitions. 

Since returning permanently in the summer of 2023, the 32-year-old has found game time limited, scoring 14 times in 58 matches. 

Discussions remain ongoing over new deals for Sam Hornby, Harry Williams, Priestley Farquharson, Liam Gordon, Ryan Stirk, Ronan Maher, Albert Adomah, Jamille Matt and Douglas James-Taylor.

Walsall have also triggered option years for Rico Browne, Evan Weir and Jamie Jellis. 

Connor Barrett, David Okagbue, Taylor Allen, Elicha Ahui (on loan at Drogheda United), Brandon Comley, Dylan Thomas, Charlie Lakin, Josh Gordon and Levi Amantchi also remain under contract next season.

Young goalkeeper George Barrett will also depart this summer, although fellow shot-stopper Jenson Kilroy has been offered his first professional contract.
