United hoping to keep key striker

The U’s main striker is the subject of a seven-day letter from the Kent club who are due to visit The Pilot Field in a crucial Ryman Premier clash.

Jason Hopkinson, who takes charge of the team for the first time after succeeding Tony Dolby as manager, said: “All we can do is wait, the decision is up to him. We’ve made it clear we want to keep him.

“When I spoke to Ade he did seem down and a bit disillusioned with how things have been going but hopefully he will put that behind him and give me a chance and the club that loves him another chance.”

Olorunda, who spent an injury-hit season with Angels before returning to Hastings for a third spell in July 2009, has been away for the past week and Hopkinson is due to talk to the player on Friday.
