Ruddock Yala has been released by the club by mutual consent following a lack of first team opportunities and is expected to sign for Ryman North side Maldon & Tiptree.

Blues manager Jody Brown tried to secure a loan and a personal deal that would have kept the formidable defender at the club:

"We tried to find a loan option for Ruddy as we all feel he has potential to play his part here.

"However, for various reasons it was hard to complete a deal and it became evident that he needed to move on to get 1st team football.

"I'm sure he will do well for Maldon & Tiptree and help them climb the table."
