The door is open for former Maidstone midfielder Conor Kelly to train at the Gallagher. Kelly returned to America in the summer to continue his recovery from a long-term ankle injury after being released by the Stones.
But he’s on his way back to the UK for another crack at English football, announcing the news on 2 Brits 1 Yank - the podcast he co-hosts with ex-team-mates Sam Bone and Sol Wanjau-Smith.
If he wants to train at Maidstone, he only has to ask. “That’s good to know he’s fully recovered now,” said Stones boss George Elokobi. “At the end of the day, Conor has got my phone number, he has to reach out.
There’s protocols at the football club. “If it’s at Maidstone, fine. If it’s somewhere else, OK, not a problem. “We think highly of him after his contribution at the start of last season. “It’s unfortunate he suffered the injury he did but it’s good that he’s in good health.
