Dai Young has confirmed Wasps centre Kyle Eastmond will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Prop Paul Doran-Jones, centre Brendan Macken and lock Matt Symons join Eastmond in not being offered new deals at the Ricoh Arena.
Eastmond was sidelined for much of 2017 after rupturing an achilles tendon and has since struggled to build a consistent run in the team set to vie in the Aviva Premiership play-offs, making 23 appearances over a two-year stretch.
“On behalf of everyone at Wasps I would like to thank Paul, Kyle, Brendan and Matt for their contributions,” said director of rugby Young, who is preparing the team to face Saracens in the play-off semi-final.
“Professional rugby is a tough world within which players and coaches do move clubs, but it still can be a sad time when faces change.
“I hope the players have enjoyed their time with us and wish them well in their future careers.”
Code convert Eastmond has been allowed to seek interest from other clubs and a potential return to old club Bath was snubbed by negotiators at The Rec in March.
As well as the four announced on Tuesday, Danny Cipriani, James Haskell, Guy Thompson, Guy Armitage and Marty Moore will all be moving on from the six-time champions of England this summer.
