Maidstone have handed new contracts to Jamar Loza and Ollie Muldoon.

The pair have been rewarded with one-year deals after proving their fitness over pre-season.

Former Charlton and Gillingham midfielder Muldoon was blighted by injury problems last season, playing just a handful of games.

Loza, meanwhile, struggled for form after coming back from ankle surgery.

Boss Jay Saunders wanted to be sure they were right before offering new deals.

He said: "What's really pleased me is they had opportunities to sign deals at other clubs at our level and they both wanted to stay here and be a part of it.

"That, straight away, was refreshing to be honest.

"They've come in and their attitude's been first-class.

"They've proved their fitness and I think the last few games they've done really well.

"I said to them I wouldn't drag them along unless I really thought it was worthwhile.

"To be fair, they came to me, both said they had options at this level but they were both very keen to be part of it.

"I'm pleased they did and you can see they've really looked after themselves over the summer.

"Jam was visibly limping last year but now he's got that half a yard of pace back and Ollie looks fitter and stronger than he did last year.

"Realistically they're like new signings because Jamar was never fit last year and Ollie only played three games."

Loza scored the winner as Maidstone came from two goals down to beat Brentford B 3-2 in a friendly last night.

Shamir Mullings launched the fightback and Coker scored United's second after Muldoon's free-kick hit the woodwork.
