Maidstone boss George Elokobi believes striker Matt Rush has got the lot. Rush has scored 10 goals since joining the Stones in November and is proving a key man in their National League South promotion push.
But he adds plenty more to the team besides, with a phenomenal work rate and ability to set up goals for others. “It’s about all-round performances,” said Elokobi. “He’s a real targetman for his size. “His game intelligence is high, he’s always one step ahead of the game, making sure he’s putting his body in between the defender and the ball. “Can he link up play?
Yes, he can. Can he run in behind? Yes, he can do that. “Also, can he score goals? Yes. Can he assist? He’s got all that. “He’s still developing.
He’s still only young and it’s up to us to carry on developing him. “He’s hungry for more – he always wants to do more.” Maidstone were interested in Rush, 22, last summer but the former Southend man joined Aveley.
