Demaray Anyadike was released from the club ahead of Saturday's season opener against Bowers & Pitsea.

Unfortunately, with the club having to cut its cloth accordingly financially, Lee Allinson had to make the extremely tough decision to release Demaray, despite his enjoying a strong pre-season with the club.

We'd like to thank Demaray for his efforts during pre-season and wish him every success on the next stop of his footballing journey.

Among those also leaving the club prior to the start of the season are Luke Massingham, who played for Hadley FC in their FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie last week, and Hafed Al-Droubi, who has joined Walthamstow FC.
