New Maidstone United striker Aaron Blair says he was shown a lack of respect by former club Braintree after helping them win promotion

Summer signing Aaron Blair is happy to be at Maidstone after claiming he was shown a lack of respect by his former club.

Player-of-the-year Blair scored 16 goals as unfancied Braintree won the National League South play-offs last season, including a stunning strike in their 4-3 final win at Worthing.
