Trio leave Rams
Derby have cancelled the contracts of Mitchell Hanson, Kallum Keane and Graham Kelly by mutual consent.
All three players were set to see their deals expire at the end of the season.
Hanson, 22, signed professional terms in 2007 after coming through the club`s youth system. He made his first-team debut in November the following year as a substitute against Brighton in the Carling Cup.
He joined Notts County on loan shortly afterwards and signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract upon his return to Pride Park. However, he failed to make a first-team appearance since and missed all of last season with a serious knee injury.
Fellow defender Keane signed his first professional deal in the summer but did not break into the first team. The same goes for midfielder Kelly, who recently returned from a four-month loan spell at League of Ireland Premier League side Bray Wanderers.
"All three players depart with our best wishes for the future," boss Nigel Clough told the club`s official website.
