Chris Elliott remains in transfer talks with Folkestone Invicta but Kane Phillip is looking elsewhere for a new club.

Full-back Elliott, nicknamed Billy, originally joined the club two years ago but was sold to Ramsgate last August.

He’s back at the Fullicks Stadium on trial and impressed during Saturday’s 7-2 win over Ashford United, completing the scoring with a late free-kick.

Folkestone manager Neil Cugley said: "He played well and I’m talking to him and what he’s going to do.

"I was a bit worried about his fitness but he got through the game OK and he’ll play again before the start of the season.

"Nat Blanks got stuck in traffic and Callum Wraight picked up an injury playing for Lydd so it was lucky we had Billy. The free-kick he scored was brilliant and he played well.

"I’ll speak to him and we’ll see how it goes but he did himself no harm at all on Saturday."

However, forward Phillip wasn’t involved at the weekend.

Cugley said: "I think he’ll go somewhere else. I’d like to keep him involved, associated with the club but it’s difficult for him with (fellow wingers) Jon Pilbeam and Josh Stanford already here.

"I’d still like him to sign Ryman League forms with us but I don’t know if that will happen now."
