Stevenage Borough have confirmed that the following players will be leaving the club – Mark Beard, Dale Binns, Mark Hughes, Hasim Deen, Jamie Slabber and Tony Thorpe.

Since joining Borough in September 2006, Beard appeared in 49 matches and scored three goals. But having gained his coaching badges is now looking for a role where he can combine playing with a coaching position and he feels that such an opportunity may arise. The club would like to thank Mark for his efforts this season and wish him well for his future career.
