Shelbourne have confirmed that forwards Matty Smith and Dean Williams as well as vice-captain Shane Griffin have left the club.
All three were out of contract at the end of a memorable campaign which saw the club win the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division title for the first time in 18 years.
Scottish attacker Smith scored two league goals during the season and has made 72 appearances in all competitions since initially joining on loan from Derry City midway through the 2022 campaign.
Striker Williams arrived at Shels before the start of 2024 from Bohemians but made just 15 appearances, while 30-year-old defender Griffin has been at Tolka Park since December 2022. The latter made 18 appearances in all competitions over the past season.
"The club extends its sincere gratitude to Shane, Matty, and Dean for their dedication and contributions. We wish them all the best in the next stage of their respective careers," a Shelbourne statement read.
