James Collins will leave West Ham at the end of next month.
The club has confirmed the Welsh centre-back will depart when his contract ends on Saturday, 30 June.
Collins has made over 200 appearances for the Hammers across two spells.
Speaking to the West Ham website, joint-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold said: “We would like to place on record our sincere thanks for the outstanding service James has given West Ham United down the years.
“His bravery and commitment on the pitch were never called into question and he has played his part in establishing the Club in the Premier League since his return in 2012.
“We appreciate just how popular James is among our fellow supporters but, with the appointment of a new manager, we felt together that the time was right to go our separate ways.
“It goes without saying that we wish James and his family every success in the future and they will always be welcome at London Stadium.”
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra will also leave over the summer.
