Speaking about their departures, McKenna said: “Kayden and Dominic have been important members of a group that has achieved significant success over the last two seasons.
“Both have made vital contributions on the field and, off the field, have played central roles in developing a culture and setting standards that have been so important to the club's progress. Their contributions to everything the club has achieved should not be underestimated.
“I am sure that both Kayden and Dominic will be real assets at whichever club they take the next steps in their careers and will always be welcome at both Portman Road and Playford Road.”
Five notable – but expected – departures are those of Omari Hutchinson, Jeremy Sarmiento, Kieffer Moore, Lewis Travis and Brandon. williams who leave the club after their loan.
Hutchinson scored 11 goals during his loan spell Chelsea to help the club get promoted.
However, Ipswich are believed to be interested in bringing him back to the club this summer.
