Blair has time for half-term

Blair Turgott retains his links to Maidstone as he prepares for the next chapter in his career.

Turgott is set to leave Swedish club Ostersunds following relegation from the top flight. It was a successful spell for the former Stones captain, whose form led to an international debut for Jamaica and a place in their Gold Cup squad, helping them to the quarterfinals.

His double-figure goal tally in a relegated side alerted clubs back home and abroad and the 27-year-old, who’s in the final six months of his contract, has plenty of options.

Whatever the future holds, it will include Maidstone as Turgott gears up for the return of his half-term holiday camp at Archbishop Courtenay School in Tovil.

“I’m just trying to sort out my next move or my next step,” said Turgott, who’s in warmweather training following the conclusion of the Allsvenskan season.

“I have six months left in Sweden but there was a lot of interest from last season. “We’ve been negotiating but it’s just waiting for everything to get over the line.

“I’ve had options from abroad, I’ve had options from England but right now I’m in a place where I’m really appreciated and I want to carry on doing well, so it’s important the next move is right.

“When I was at Maidstone

I did have some League 1 interest but to be fair I met the chief executive at Ostersunds andhesoldittome.

“If I come back to England it would have to be either top end of League 1 or Championship really because that’s where I feel I deserve to be.”

Next week’s half-term holiday camp at Archbishop Courtenay runs from Monday to Thursday (9am-3pm) and is for boys and girls aged five to 12.

Cost is £15 per day or £40 for three or four days. Book your spot by calling or texting
