Reality television star Mark Wright has been released by Crawley Town as one of six players to leave the club.
The 34-year-old full-back, best known for appearing on ITV's The Only Way Is Essex, joined the League Two side in December and made two appearances.
Ex-Tottenham trainee Wright made his professional debut as a substitute in Crawley's shock FA Cup win over Leeds.
He made his only start in their league defeat by Harrogate in February but was taken off at half-time.
Meanwhile, Crawley are in contract negotiations with 42-year-old midfielder Dannie Bulman, who is the oldest current player in the English Football League and made nine appearances this season.
Striker Tom Nichols and long-serving goalkeeper Glenn Morris are among five players to have one-year contract extensions triggered by the club.
Former Gillingham keeper Stuart Nelson and defender Joe McNerney - who played 140 times for the Reds - join Wright in being released.
John Yems' side finished 12th in League Two this season.
