Ashley Nicholls is one of two players released by the Pilgrims

Boston United have released Ashley Nicholls and Jon Stevenson as manager Tommy Taylor prepares for next season.

Boston have three players already under contract for another year, and have offered deals to a further seven.

They are believed to be in discussions with seven more players over extending their stay at York Street.

Chairman David Newton also confirmed a settlement with the Inland Revenue, allowing the club to come out of administration, securing their future.

Newton revealed on Saturday that the Pilgrims had agreed a budget with Taylor for the new season.

Striker Stevenson, 25, scored nine goals for the Pilgrims this term, while midfielder Nicholls, 26, is expected to join Maidenhead United.
