QPR have released Joey Barton and Rio Ferdinand in a massive summer clearout that sees 10 players shown the door.

The duo have been told they won't be offered new terms at Loftus Road and will depart when their contracts expire next month.

Brian Murphy, Richard Dunne, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Bobby Zamora are also on their way out following relegation to the Championship.

Loanees Mauricio Isla, Niko Kranjcar, Eduardo Vargas and Mauro Zarate have all returned to their parent clubs.

However, the Hoops have offered new deals to stalwart Clint Hill and midfielder Alejandro Faurlin.

Karl Henry has until June 30 to take up the one-year option on his contract.
