Striker Tom English is staying put at Heybridge Swifts.
The front man has rejected a seven-day approach from neighbours Maldon and Tiptree.
He also recently turned down a similar approach from Ryman League division one rivals Thamesmead Town.
English was in the crowd for Tuesday's derby match between Heybridge and Maldon, which Swifts won 4-0.
He was unable to play due to injury.
