In this article, we take a look at a list of over 150 National League free agents released by clubs following the 2022/23 season.
Teams will be looking to strengthen and replace those injured or in need of a boost with some names looking to secure themselves a new club to call home for the foreseeable future.
Retained lists are being released across the top tier of non league, which will see a flood of free agents into the summer transfer market.
Check out the list, compiled with the help of The Real EFL / NL of over 150 National League free agents released by clubs after the 2022/23 season belowโฆ
