Maidstone United manager Jay Saunders interested in summer move for Will De Havilland

Jay Saunders would like to bring Will De Havilland back to Maidstone next season.

Wycombe have recalled De Havilland from his loan spell for the League 2 run-in, with the Chairboys closing in on automatic promotion.

The centre-half made a big impression in two months at the Gallagher, playing a key role in tightening up their defence.

He played 10 times for the Stones, with his final appearance coming in the 1-0 win over AFC Fylde on Saturday.

His Wycombe contract expires this summer and Maidstone boss Saunders is interested in a permanent move.

Saunders said: “I’m a bit gutted to lose him because he’s been excellent for us and I’ve really enjoyed having him here.

“He’s someone moving forward if he doesn’t get a contract there I’d be really keen to get back at the club.

“I’m glad we had him for Saturday against Fylde where he went out on a high.

“At least he’s gone out with good memories because Saturday was a good day with the crowd and everything and hopefully it’s left good feelings in his head for us maybe to have a chat with him next season.

“He’s still young and still learning but he’s a good player and he goes back to Wycombe fit and ready to go.

“There’ll be other interest but I know he enjoyed his time here so hopefully that’ll stand us in good stead if we can have a chat with him.”
