Hooker Marco Manfredi has won three international caps for Italy
Italy hooker Marco Manfredi and prop Tom West are among nine players who will leave Northampton Saints at the end of the season.
Manfredi joined the Prem leaders from Treviso-based Benetton in October but has only made three appearances, the most recent against Leicester Tigers in January.
West has had the most game-time among those exiting Franklin's Gardens, having played 34 games since arriving from Saracens ahead of last season - but only 11 during the current campaign because of injuries, and he is to join Newcastle Red Bulls.
The others leaving are Fyn Brown, Will Glister, Emeka Atuanya, Billy Pasco and three who have yet to play a first-team game, Archie Appleby, Jack Lawrence, and Siep Walta.
