MATT JOHNSON DEPARTS

*BS*Matt Johnson has left Dover Athletic this week, after it was mutually agreed to cancel his contract.*BF*

The creative midfielder joined from Rushden & Diamonds in the summer but has not featured regularly in the starting line up.

Manager Martin Hayes commented in his programme notes for Tuesday’s game against Farnborough: “Matt was unhappy about not playing more regularly.

“He has had his contract mutually cancelled and we wish him all the best for the future.”

Meanwhile, Lee Hook and Donovan Simmonds continue their progress back into the squad from injury. It is hoped Donovan will return soon to provide another option in attack. He has been hampered by a back problem since August.
