Following the announcement that Kelvin Davis has signed a three-year deal to remain Spitfires boss, the club wasted no time confirming which players will be around next season.

George Langston, Nigel Atangana, Oscar Rutherford, and Enzio Boldewijn are among the names to be released following the expiration of their contracts.

My time at the club has come to an end. Looking forward to see what is next for me. I’m wishing @EastleighFC all the best for the upcoming season. https://t.co/KDdXUwgcbc

Thanks to all the spitfires who have supported me for the past 2 seasons. It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to play for Eastleigh. Thanks to my teammates, staff and especially the fans. I wish you all the best of luck in the upcoming season. Up the Spits💙
