The 161 Championship players out of contract this summer - including Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Hull City, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United stars

Jonathan Russell’s move from Huddersfield to Yorkshire rivals Barnsley was confirmed at 12.30am on February 1, as he completed a permanent switch to Oakwell to beat the 11pm transfer deadline. The former Chelsea man was out of contract in West Yorkshire at the end of the season but has signed a deal at Barnsley until the summer of 2026.

Other players who were set to be out of contract from Yorkshire clubs completed deadline day moves, with Duncan Watmore moving to Millwall from Middlesbrough while Billy Chadwick, Josh Emmanuel and James Scott all completed moves away from Hull City.

A host of players from across the Championship are set to become free agents at the end of the season as things stand after staying put with their respective clubs or agreeing six-month loan moves.

Using data from transfermarkt.co.uk, we have looked at the contract situation at every Championship club. A number of players have one-year options in their current deals but as things stand, they will become free agents unless those extensions are exercised before June 1.

Huddersfield have four players in the final months of their deals while seven at Hull will see their contracts run out later this year. However, four of those deals do contain one-year options.

Five squad members could leave Middlesbrough come the end of the campaign while at Sheffield United there are 12 men entering the final months of their respective deals, including the likes of Oli McBurnie, Oliver Norwood and Wes Foderingham.

At Rotherham United, eight players will see their deals expire in 2023 with the Millers already letting Dan Barlaser join Middlesbrough this month after he rejected a new deal in South Yorkshire.
