Six more players to leave Grays

Grays Athletic have continued to trim their squad by transfer listing two players and releasing a further four.

Defender Jon Ashton and midfielder Sam Sloma have been unable to agree new deals with the club, so have been made available to other teams.

Meanwhile, Luke Hickie, Gavyn Davies, Scott Forrester and Leon McKenzie have been released with immediate effect.

The club have also accepted coach Jim Dean's offer to step down in order to help the club's financial situation.

Last week the Essex outfit placed Ross Flitney, Rob Gier, Stefan Bailey and Stuart Elliott on the transfer list.

In October the club's chairman Mick Woodward announced the club were having to cut back on expenditure, following the loss of three major sponsors and the current financial situation.
