Connacht have confirmed a number of departures from their playing ranks, including Pro12 winners Tom McCartney, Niyi Adeolokun and Eoin McKeon.
McCartney has announced his retirement from rugby and has returned to New Zealand after six years with the province.
The hooker amassed 112 appearances for the club and started in the 2016 Guinness Pro12 Grand Final against Leinster.
Fellow centurion and Connacht native McKeon exits having played 137 times since his debut in April 2010.
Back-three duo Adeolokun, who was capped by Ireland in 2016, and Darragh Leader also depart at the end of their contracts having featured in the 2015/16 campaign, with the pair amassing 94 and 91 appearances.
Kyle Godwin, Joe Maksymiw and David Horwitz have completed their two-year contracts after joining in the summer of 2018.
As previously announced, Colby Fainga'a and Robin Copeland will join French sides Lyon and Soyaux Angouleme respectively.
Front-rowers Rory Burke and Peter McCabe have completed their contracts, while Angus Lloyd will now pursue a medical career having passed his exams while under contract at Connacht.
Connacht head coach Andy Friend said: "The nature of professional rugby means there will always be comings and goings.
"I would personally like to wish all our departing players every success in the future and thank them for their contributions to Connacht Rugby, both on and off the field.
"We all share in the players' disappointment that they were unable to get a proper send-off at the Sportsground due to Covid, but they can be always assured of a warm welcome by the club and our supporters at any time in the future."
