Ebbsfleet boss Liam Daish has tied five players to new one-year contracts - while allowing five others to depart.

Strikers Raphael Nade and Chukki Eribenne have been released, along with defender Ronnie Bull and midfielders Lee Maskell and Liam Coleman.

Captain Paul McCarthy, 36, and fellow defenders Mark Ricketts, 23, and Sacha Opinel, 31, have signed new deals.

Striker Luke Moore, 20, and midfielder Neil Barrett, 26, are also staying at Stonebridge Road for next season.

Daish has already lost the services of utility man Michael Bostwick, who recently turned down the offer of a new deal and joined Blue Square Premier rivals Stevenage.

However, they will be entitled to compensation because he is under 24.
