The hometown midfielder has signed a contract renewal that will keep him at the Gallagher Stadium through the 2026/27 season.

A versatile and hard-working player, Riley has been a key figure for the Stones, bringing energy, commitment, and quality in possession. After being released by Chelsea’s academy, he rose through the ranks at Maidstone, establishing himself as a reliable presence in the squad and earning the trust of both the coaching staff and supporters with his consistent performances.

“Riley is a fantastic professional and embodies everything we want from a Maidstone United player,” said manager George Elokobi.

“His work rate, attitude, and versatility are invaluable to our group, and he continues to set standards every day in training and on match days.

“We are delighted he’s committed to Maidstone United because he’s an important part of what we are building here. Me and Craig are excited to see him continue to development with us.”
