Wasps’ preparations for the new Gallagher Premiership season have been thrown into chaos after the club was unable to meet a key deadline on the repayment of a £35million retail bond.
With the 2022-23 campaign less than a month away, Lee Blackett’s side has been hit hard by financial woes which have impacted their ability to sign new players.
The club confirmed that 11 players would leave the Ricoh Arena at the end of last season with over £1m of talent walking out of the door..
The club said in a statement: “Wasps would like to thank all those players who are leaving the Club at the end of the season for their hard work and passion in the Black and Gold shirt.”
Check out their full list of departures below.
