𝙈𝙀𝘼𝙇𝙊 𝘿𝙀𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙎 Ashford Town can confirm that striker Marcus Mealing has made the decision to move on and look for more playing opportunities. Marcus joined us in October as a player coach and was a huge part of our resurgence from 18th to league champions. Tuffs quotes “Both on and off the pitch, Marcus experience and quality has shown. Off the pitch, he was a knowledgable, calming voice that also massively contributed to helping me with player recruitment. As of February, Marcus was ready to play regularly and nobody will ever forget that worldie equaliser against Windsor and those 2 towering headers in our 2-0 win against British Airways which helped us get over the line. Marcus has said at his stage in life with his knee now mended he’s still looking to be a player and is looking for a team that will suit him best and give him the most opportunities to contribute on the pitch. He leaves with our full blessing and a thank you for his valued contribution.” We thank Mealo for all his hard work and commitment to the club in his stay with us and wish him all the best for his future 🤝🧡

𝙇𝘼𝙍𝙆𝙃𝘼𝙈 𝙈𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙎 𝙊𝙉 ➡️ Ashford Town can confirm that Archie Larkham has decided to move on after 2 seasons with us. Joining us for the 2024/2025 season Archie became one of the best full backs in Step 4 and his quality and endeavour for the club made him a fans favourite and our vice captain this season at just 19 years of age. Tuffs quotes “Although Archie is contracted until the end of the 2026/2027 season, Archie asked me to release him from his contract as he wished to play closer to home with increased work commitments. We have chosen to honour Archie with no compensation requested from his next club as he is a young man whose life has simply changed. His loyalty and quality during our season with no finances is not to be forgotten and he leaves the RPS with a deserved league winners medal having played another big role in our season.” We would like to thank Archie for all his commitment and work in his time with us and we wish him absolutely nothing but the best 🧡

MASSIVE.
