Maidstone United loanee Delano Sam-Yorke is going back to Woking

Jay Saunders confirmed after Maidstone's win at Dagenham that Delano Sam-Yorke will be returning to Woking.

The striker's two-month loan is up after the home game against Southport on Saturday and the Cards, who are battling with Stones to stay up, want him back.

Sam-Yorke scored a lovely late goal to clinch a 2-0 victory for 10-man Stones at National League title contenders Daggers.

Boss Saunders said: "I’ve spoken to Garry Hill (Woking manager) and they are going to call him back. Southport is his last game.

"That’s a big blow, he’s been great for us. I’d love to keep him and if you ask Delano I think he would probably like to stay but it was always a two-month loan and I think obviously the position both clubs are in, it was always going to happen."

Maidstone moved out of the bottom four at Torquay's expense after a terrific performance at Dagenham.

It's four games unbeaten after Pigott's thumping opener and Sam-Yorke's clincher after Stuart Lewis was sent off.

Saunders said: "I’m just pleased we carried on the little unbeaten run.

"We’ve been good of late and we’ve come here to a team who are second in the league - and it’s a difficult place to come - and got a big three points.

"I thought we defended very well. We had to speak a lot about Oliver Hawkins.

"He’s a real handful and they drop a lot into him and I thought we dealt with him well and that was a big part of our win.

"From the front, all the way through midfield to the back four, we defended well and we looked a threat on the break as well."
