Captain Graham & Sevelj staying as United confirm departures

Dundee United have triggered options to extend captain Ross Graham and midfielder Vicko Sevelj's contracts for a further 12 months, while Kristijan Trapanovski and Ryan Strain are among the departures.

Croatian Sevelj joined from NK Radomlje of Slovenia in 2024 and was named United's player of the year last term. The 25-year-old made 40 appearances this season.

Academy graduate Graham, 25, has made more than 100 appearances for the club. The defender returned from a four-month hamstring injury lay-off to play 24 times this season, netting three goals.

The pair will now stay at Tannadice until the end of next season, with United "remaining in dialogue with both players regarding longer-term extensions".

Australia defender Strain and North Macedonia winger Trapanovski exit after two seasons at Tannadice, while Craig Sibbald leaves to rejoin Falkirk.

United have offered Trapanovski "ongoing rehabilitation and medical support throughout the summer" as the 26-year-old recovers from knee surgery.

Also leaving Tannadice are Johnny Russell, Max Watters, Ashley Maynard-Brewer and Isaac Pappoe. Loan players Luca Stephenson, Amar Fatah, Krisztian Keresztes and Ivan Dolcek return to their parent clubs.
