The 28-year-old has been on the transfer list at Priestfield after falling out of favour with manager Mark Stimson, and held talks with chairman Paul Scally over a departure last week.

However, Stimson said: "Delroy Facey has been speaking to the chairman but they haven't reached an agreement for a settlement.

"Del will come back into the building on Monday and he will compete for a place up front. He is obviously a couple of weeks behind the other players as he hasn't been training.

"We have some games this week; we play Ipswich at home on Wednesday, Birmingham at home on Saturday and we're sending a team to Folkestone on Saturday. We also have a training game this week so there are a couple of games in which he will play."

Meanwhile, Stimson has decided not to offer contracts to trialists Leo Roget, Nigel Atangana and Alex Bailey but a fourth player, winger Alistair John, has had his trial period extended.
