Mitchell Pinnock's Maidstone United contract has been terminated by mutual consent.

Pinnock joined from Bromley in the summer but found first-team opportunities hard to come by.

The winger was transfer-listed last week but has now left the club.

Stones boss Jay Saunders said: "We came to a mutual agreement to terminate his contract to give him more scope to talk to other clubs.

"He came in and did well and set up the winner at Hemel but it's one of them where Bobby-Joe Taylor has been better and we've got Alex Flisher back earlier than expected.

"He has unbelievable quality on the ball but there were other sides to the game I needed him to do.

"Sometimes it just doesn't work out at a club. He'll probably go somewhere else and do really well - it wouldn't surprise me.

"He said he needed to be playing and I had to be honest and say Bobby-Joe and Flish were ahead of him.

"He could have sat on his money but he wants to go and play football."

Pinnock recently had a month on loan at Tonbridge and Saunders has encouraged him to sign a permanent deal with Steve McKimm's Ryman League promotion chasers.

The Stones boss said: "A couple of higher clubs have come in but if I were him I'd be signing for Tonbridge.

"That would be his best move. They've got a good chance of going up and he's played well under Macca.

"I'd like to think he'll sign for them but he's one of these lads who's got an agent, so you never know."
