Sydney have delisted swingman Aaron Francis.
The 28-year-old joins Blake Leidler in departing the Swans, while it had been previously announced that Robbie Fox, Indhi Kirk, Caleb Mitchell and Ben Paton wouldn't be offered new contracts for next season.
Francis played 30 senior games in a three-year stint in Sydney, having joined from Essendon ahead of the 2023 season.

Deployed primarily as a backman, Francis had a memorable sub appearance earlier this year, nearly dragging the Swans over the line with three quick goals against Port Adelaide at the SCG.
It remains to be seen whether Francis, who has played 84 AFL games, will land a deal elsewhere.
“I want to thank Aaron and Blake for their contributions to our football club,” Sydney football boss Leon Cameron said.
“Since arriving at the club a few years ago, Aaron in particular has played an extremely important role in adding experience and versatility to our senior side. He was also a very valuable contributor when he played VFL footy, helping develop our younger athletes.
“Blake was a solid contributor in our VFL side this season, and I thank him for his commitment to our program since arriving in Sydney.
“I wish both boys the very best for their futures.”
Several experienced Swans, including Dane Rampe, Jake Lloyd, Peter Ladhams, James Jordon and Joel Hamling and Jack Buller remain unsigned for 2026.
The club has been linked with a high-profile move for contracted Carlton forward Charlie Curnow.
