SALISBURY boss Steve Claridge is looking to make a couple more signings in the wake of two players leaving the Sydenhams Premier leaders.

Ex-Follands Sports and Team Solent pair Matt Burt and Patrick 'Pip' Nolan both asked to be released from their contracts and Claridge has agreed.

"We wish them well," said the Whites manager. "They are both good players but wanted to play more regularly and I understand that.

"It does free up some money in the wage budget for others to come in and I expect to make a couple of new signings, possibly this week."

The pair's departure comes on top of two other players going.

Ex-Winchester City man Callum Casson has a new job that has taken him abroad while striker Mark Ford asked to be released to join Weymouth Reserves in the Dorset Premier League.

Ford, who played for Blackfield & Langley last term, cited work commitments for being unable to commit to Wessex football.

Salisbury have no midweek game but return to action for a top-two showdown at Sholing on Saturday.
