- Saints opt to release trio
Southampton manager George Burley has decided not to offer new deals to Kevin Miller, David Prutton and Sean Rudd.
However, the Saints boss is keen to keep Leon Best, Martin Cranie and Feliciano Condessa, and has offered extended contracts to all three.
"Kevin (Miller) came in and gave us good cover after Bartosz Bialkowski suffered a very serious knee injury," Burley told the club's official website.
"He played the last few games of the 2005-06 season and did very well. He gave us the experience we needed at that time.
"He's 38 now but goalkeepers can play on longer than that and it wouldn't surprise me to see him keep going and do a bit of coaching.
"David (Prutton) was keen to go back to Forest in January to try and gain a permanent contract there and it looks as if he's managed to do that.
"Sean Rudd has been sidelined virtually since I came to the club. He's been unlucky but he's fully fit now and we wish him all the best."
