Out-of-contract Maidstone forward Elliott Romain has joined Eastbourne Borough.

Romain failed to score a National League goal in 27 appearances as United were relegated but was arguably the hardest-working striker in the division.

He finished with four goals in 37 games in all competitions, including a terrific strike two minutes into his debut as Maidstone upset Leyton Orient in the FA Cup.

He also scored against Gillingham in the Kent Senior Cup semi-finals and the equaliser in the final, when United beat Bromley on penalties.

It’s his second spell at Eastbourne and new boss Lee Bradbury told the Sports website: “Elliott is a proven goalscorer, and a winner, and he has the right mentality for me."
