Maidstone United release 10 players including Sam Bone, Sol-Wanjau-Smith and Lamar Reynolds as George Elokobi confirms his retained list

Maidstone are releasing 10 players as they prepare for another season in National League South.

Sam Bone is perhaps the biggest surprise having been a fixture in George Elokobi’s side for much of the season.

Sol Wanjau-Smith, signed by former boss Hakan Hayrettin two years ago, is another player leaving the Gallagher, as is Lamar Reynolds, who will forever be remembered for his opening goal in Maidstone’s 2-1 FA Cup victory at Ipswich.

Conor Kelly, sidelined since September with an ankle injury, departs along with another injured player in Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong.

Chi Ezennolim fell out of favour after a bright start to his Stones career that saw him voted August’s player-of-the-month.

He’s leaving the club this summer along with Devonte Aransibia and deadline day signing Michael Klass, while No.2 goalkeeper Harley Earle will be moving on from his hometown club.

United had already announced that club captain Gavin Hoyte would be released, while Liam Sole has chosen to explore other options.

Jephte Tanga, Michael Adu-Poku, Mo Faal and Paul Appiah return to their parent clubs following loan spells.

Faal and Tanga will, though, be leaving Havant and Leyton Orient respectively at the end of their contracts.

Sam Corne has already signed a new deal, while Bivesh Gurung, George Fowler, Harry Kyprianou, Lucas Covolan, Matt Bentley, Matt Rush, Raphe Brown, Reiss Greenidge, Riley Court and Sam Smith have all been offered terms.
