He joined Plymouth Albion in the Championship for the following season where his opportunities were limited due to injury and the team’s struggles.

Clements-Hill then rejoined Ampthill for their National One debut in 2015-16 where he finished the season with 229 points including 15 tries.

Meanwhile, back row Dyer, 23, and fly half Maisey, 23, have both signed for Coventry.

In 2014/15 he made three appearances for Bedford Blues in the Championship & British & Irish Cup, before returning to Ampthill.

He was an ever present in National One this season as established himself in the back row where his strength and finishing prowess saw him score 12 tries.

Maisey returns to Coventry where he made 21 appearances in National One between 2011 and 2014 before joining Nottingham for the following season, where he played both in the Championship and the British & Irish Cup.

Finally, Laxton has left the club after an injury-ravaged season. He joined from Nottingham in the summer, but made his only appearance for Ampthill in National One in April off the bench.

Director of Rugby Mark Lavery said: “I’d like to thank Elliot, Darrell and Will for their contribution to Ampthill’s debut National One campaign.

“All three have been regulars in the match day squad when fit and have been an integral part of the team’s on field success.

“Kiefer was very unlucky to carry an injury throughout the season which limited his opportunities.

“Ampthill wish them all the very best for the future where I’m sure their dedication and commitment will be rewarded appropriately.”
