Dover Athletic manager Martin Hayes is working to replace the three members of last season’s squad who have yet to sign new contracts.

Hayes (pictured) has left fresh messages for goalkeeper Ross Flitney, centre-half Rob Gillman and right-back Matt Fish, but without response.

He said: "The fact I have heard nothing from them makes me presume that they are looking around for something else, which is their prerogative because they are free agents.

"The door is still open but it won’t be once I have spent their money on somebody else because there isn’t any more, and I am already talking to another goalkeeper, a right-back and two centre-halves."
