MIDFIELDER Mark DeBolla has agreed a new one-year deal to stay at Ebbsfleet United.

The 24-year-old initially refused the offer of a new contract when manager Liam Daish announced his retained list in May.

Despite being plagued by injuries DeBolla was a key member of last season's squad and is renowned for his ability from dead ball situations.

Daish said: "I am pleased to have secured the services of Mark for another season.

"He gives us different options in midfield with his excellent vision and striking of the ball, and is always liable to come up with a goal or two."
