Liam Daish today has released 5 more players from the squad as it moves towards a fulltime outfit. The main one leaving being legend Jimmy Jackson!

The club has now finalised its retained list for next season which means a further five players are to be released.  Those players are Aaron Kerr, Ashley Fuller, Danny Glozier, Scott Gooding and Jimmy Jackson. Acting Chairman Jason Botley commented: “These are difficult times at the club but we are in a major transitional period, we have invested in the process of going full time and as a club we are committed to it.  Life has been made more difficult at this time with a reduction in resources but the club does not have a deficit and will never spend money that it does not have”. 

 

Manager Daish says: “Life has become more difficult than it might have been but it is my job to bring the players into the club that can buy us a bit of time as the new stadium project progresses and we find potential investors.  I am sad to see any player go but it is particularly the case with Jimmy Jackson as he is a ‘Fleet’ man through and through.  I would have tried everything within my means to keep him had he been able to fit into daytime training but unfortunately he is unable to do this.  On behalf of everyone connected with the club I would like to express my sincere thanks to ‘Jacko’ for everything that he has done for the club, he is a consummate professional and has been a great ambassador for Kent football over a long period of time - we wish him every success for the future”.

 

 

I would like to thank all the players that have left, good luck in the future.

But a special thanks to Steve McKimm, Justin Skinner and finally the legend and all time appearance holder Jimmy Jackson.
