Shrewsbury Town centre-back Jermaine Grandison has left the club after failing to agree terms on a new contract.
The club's manager Graham Turner admitted Grandison's decision to reject the contract offer despite being sidelined with a hip injury.
"Unfortunately Jermaine, through his agent, turned down the offer that we had made him," he told the club's website.
"It looks as though he's going to be out for quite some time and we will be responsible for his medical well being, but unfortunately now as far as the relationship between Jermaine and the club, that's gone and Jermaine has departed.
"His contract finished at the end of June and so that's it. I was quite surprised at the reaction to our offer, that they turned it down given the circumstances. I know Jermaine was a big favourite of the supporters, but these things happen in football and Jermaine is no longer a Shrewsbury player."
Grandison, 22, was at the Shrews from 2011 after joining from Coventry City.
