A NUMBER of Moray youngsters are among a group of players released by Ross County today.

The Dingwall-based outfit announced they wouldn't be giving new contracts to 14 players, including many who have been on loan in the Highland League.

Declan Hughes and Ruari Fraser, who were both with Forres Mechanics on loan last season, have been released. Hughes has returned to his native Australia.
