Midfielder Michael Woods has had his contract cancelled at Dover Athletic.

The 30-year-old leaves the club after one season in which he made 35 appearances.

Woods was one of those players made available for free transfer as the club look to save money on their wage bill. His contract was terminated by mutual consent.

The Yorkshireman joined the club last summer from Harrogate Town and picked up a series knee injury , which needed surgery, just before Covid-19 brought a premature end to the season.

Dover said: “We would like to thank Michael for all his efforts and we wish him the very best of luck in his future endeavours.”

Whites boss Andy Hessenthaler is looking at numerous trialists as he attempts to put together a competitive squad for the 2020/21 campaign.

On Saturday they came from behind to beat Margate, taking the lead early on with a goal from Steven Rigg before going 2-1 behind. One of their trialists got them level with five minutes left and netted again to win the game.

Speaking after the game, Hessenthaler said: “The game showed how far off we are in terms of fitness.

"It wasn’t great but a lot of our boys haven’t played a game since the middle of March and I think it showed. We have a lot more work to do but it’s early stages at the moment.”
