Batsman Jaik Mickleburgh is to leave Essex when his contract expires at the end of this month.
In an eight-year first-class career at Chelmsford, Mickleburgh made 101 appearances, making almost 5,000 runs, and also featured in a further 38 limited-overs matches.
But he only made eight Championship appearances this summer as the county won the Division Two title.
Essex coach Chris Silverwood thanked the 26-year-old for his service and said: "Jaik has been a terrific servant to the club and contributed throughout his time here.
"I wish him well for the future and thank him for his loyalty over the years."
