Updated: Earlier this evening Ilkeston reported that they have turned down offers for keeper Matt Yates and also striker Tom Cursons who has already scored eight goals this season.
Chairman, Andrew Nally, said "The bids we have received simply do not
match our valuation of the players and were rejected immediately."
Whilst the club haven't said where the offers have come from, it's being suggested that it's might be Mattlock who have received investment from the former Ilkeston chairman recently.
