Maidenhead United to benefit from Max Kilman sell-on clause

Maidenhead United are celebrating due to a sell-on clause which means they benefit from their former defender joining West Ham United.

The centre-back left Wolves for a reported £40 million, he was previously bought by the Midlands club in August 2018.

There had been plenty of interest and many eyes from the National League club on the developing situation, with vast sums of money being talked about.

Last season they finished 14th in the division and are managed by former West Ham legend Alan Devonshire.

Maidenhead United chairman Peter Griffin told the club's website.

"Over recent days there has been a lot of speculation regarding the sell on clause and the amount of money the club will receive. As you would expect commercial confidentially prohibits me from providing specific details about the sell on clause, however, we were engaged with various parties during the negotiation process for Max’s transfer. We reached a mutually agreeable position that all parties are satisfied with and importantly it is in the best interest of the club.

"Ultimately this is a fantastic outcome for club which will benefit from one of the largest, if not the largest, transfer payments an English non league club has ever received, which is something to celebrate. This is testament to the hard work of Alan Devonshire and his coaching team past and present, as well our Academy programme which every year is developing players which move into our first team squad."
