Hide AdRayhaan Tulloch will be on the search for his fifth club in 15 months after his contract was not extended at the New Meadow. The 23-year-old departs the Shropshire outfit having made just one appearance.
Tulloch joined on a short-term deal on March 9 after his contract at The Hawthorns was terminated. He had spent the first part of the campaign on loan at League Two side Bradford City but returned to the Midlands, with his contract being ripped up.
He is being followed out of the door by Elliott Bennett and Harry Burgoyne who both started their careers at West Brom's Black Country rivals Wolves.
