Bristol Rovers right-back Joel Senior has left the League Two side after requesting a move to be closer to his family.
Senior played 58 games for the Pirates, including 31 during the last campaign, after signing from Morecambe in 2024.
The 26-year-old Mancunian had a two-year deal at the Memorial Ground with the option of a further 12 months.
Manager Steve Evans said Senior asked to leave the club at a meeting in May following the conclusion of the campaign.
"The lad has been excellent for me, a great lad too, but he was in a difficult place," Evans said.
