Maidstone have released Joe Anderson and Reece Prestedge as Jay Saunders begins his summer shake-up.

Left-back Anderson was a virtual ever-present after joining as Tom Mills' replacement last summer, making more than 50 appearances.

Prestedge started the season as a key man in the Maidstone midfield but was used sparingly in the final months.

Stones boss Jay Saunders said: “Even after seven years in the job these are not easy calls to make but it’s part and parcel of football.

“Ando and Prez were big characters in the dressing room and on the pitch and I’d like to thank them both for all they’ve done for the club.

"They’ve always given me 100% and are a credit to themselves.

“I am aiming to speak to all the players this week and once that’s done I can focus on those targets we’d like to bring in over the summer."
