Maidstone United have completed new deals for midfielders Charley Robertson, Ben Greenhalgh and Jack Paxman.

United decided to take up a one-year option on Robertson's contract, while Greenhalgh and Paxman have agreed terms for National League South.

Robertson finished last season on loan at Faversham but boss Jay Saunders always maintained the highly-rated 19-year-old would be returning to the Gallagher Stadium.

Meanwhile, Saunders has challenged winger Greenhalgh to find the consistency to match his talent.

He said: "I've been honest with Ben - we'll start pre-season with a clean slate.

"It was hard for him in that he had a stop-start season and didn't get the run of games he needed but you'd get one or two good games and then one or two quiet games.

"That's the difference between him and Alex Flisher.

"No one doubts he has more ability than Flish - and most people in the team - but it's about getting it out of him on a consistent basis.

"It's up to him to show that playing a level up might suit him."

Playmaker Paxman made a couple of impressive cameo appearances after joining from Witham Town towards the end of last season.

Saunders said: "It was difficult for him coming in when he did.

"He has a lot of ability and I want to see more of him."

It's already been a busy week for the Stones, who confirmed on Monday evening that captain Steve Watt has agreed to stay with the club next season.

Earlier in the day, winger Mitchell Pinnock joined the club from Bromley on a one-year deal.
