Maidstone United winger Tom Murphy is leaving the Gallagher for Dartford.

He’s agreed a deal with Tony Burman’s National South promotion chasers and could make his debut at Ebbsfleet on New Year’s Day.

Stones manager Jay Saunders said: “Murphs wants to be playing week in, week out and that’s not something I can guarantee here.

“He’s got a great opportunity at Dartford with Tony, especially with the league position they’re in. Me and the lads wish him all the best.”

Murphy, 25, signed a one-year deal at Maidstone in the summer following his release by Dover.

He made 20 appearances, scoring in the FA Cup win over Billericay, but fell out of favour after a bright start and spent the last month on loan at Eastbourne Borough.
