FourFourTwo understands the Sengalese cousins, who are off-contract at the end of the 2016/2017 campaign, won't be re-signed by the Mariners.

Both joined Central Coast last year after spells at Sydney FC. Faty and Tavares were both signed by former Mariners coach Tony Walmsley.

It is understood the defender and central midfielder don't feature in the plans of Central Coast boss Paul Okon next season.

Faty has only made eight appearances for the club this season as he battles a hamstring injury.

Tavares has also only made eight appearances for the Mariners, his last coming against Perth Glory in November. The defensive midfielder left for Europe in December for treatment of an ankle injury and may not feature for Central Coast again.

Both Faty and Tavares arrived in the A-League in 2015 with experience playing in France, Germany, England and the Czech Republic under their belts.
