Dagenham and Redbridge boss John Still has confirmed that Ben Strevens has rejected the chance to join a League One club to remain with the Daggers.

The 28-year-old forward's goals helped the Daggers win the Conference title two seasons ago and avoid an immediate return to non-league football last term.

Still told the club's official website: "It's the club's policy not to hold a player back if they have the opportunity to move to a club playing at a higher level.

"I told Ben of the offer and that opportunities like this don't come around too often.

"I also stressed to him that he is a valuable member of our playing staff and I didn't want him to leave.

"I am delighted to say Ben has turned down the offer in favour of staying at Dagenham and Redbridge and is looking forward to our League Two campaign."
