Dartford boss Tony Burman is hunting for someone to cover for regular keeper Louis Wells after Deren Ibrahim joined Maidstone on a dual registration deal last week.

Burman said: "We will probably do something but I am not saying we have to go out and sign another number one because we have to be mindful of our finances."

Ibrahim would still be available to the Darts if Maidstone are not playing.

The Darts boss admits it’s been a testing time trying to bring in fresh blood, as he looks to boost the numbers of his squad to 18.

He currently has 13 players signed on for next season, with a few more invited to attend pre-season training.

Burman said: "It’s been a different ball game at the higher level as all of the players seem to be weighing up their options.

"Some of the pro club players are still contracted until June 30 and so they have had time to weigh up their options. We will start seeing some movement soon.

"I am not getting down about it, although it is frustrating and it’s different what we’ve been used to. Things could change any day now."
