Every Championship player released so far as Coventry and Blackburn swoop for free agents

Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers have secured two of the more eye-catching free agents available in the Championship this summer.

Coventry, fresh from losing the play-off final on Saturday, have announced their retained list and agreed a four-year contract with Jay Dasilva, who has just left Bristol City. Fankaty Dabo, who missed the decisive penalty at Wembley, has been released as well as centre-half Michael Rose, who played a prominent role in their promotion from League One.

Blackburn have tied up Plymouth Argyle striker Niall Ennis on a four-year contract too, with the option of a fifth year. Ennis scored 14 times in League One but has turned down a new deal at Home Park and moved north for free. He is tasked with filling the boots of Ben Brereton-Diaz, who is expected to sign for Villarreal.
