Manny Parry is in demand following his release by Maidstone United.

The defender has a number of offers on the table just a day after leaving the Gallagher.

Parry was surprised to be let go, having been a virtual ever-present as Stones won promotion to the National League.

But he has taken Jay Saunders' decision on the chin and will soon be back in the game.

Parry, 22, said: "I felt I'd done enough to be here next year but it's Jay's decision, he's done well since he's been at the club and I'm sure he's made the right decision in his eyes.

"I leave the club with loads of good memories and I wish them all the best in the league above.

"I hope they do well and I'm sure they will because they have good players, good management and good people behind the scenes.

"I love the fans, the crowd were good to me, everyone was good to me. It's upsetting but that's how it is in football.

"I've had a lot of calls, which have come pretty quickly, Conference and Conference South clubs. I've just got to think about things and see what's best for me.

"I want to get something sorted by next week if I can because clubs will soon be back for pre-season."
