Talking to the Medway Messenger, Chairman Paul Scally said, "We've had a real good go at keeping him and we've made him a further improved offer. "There's always hope. We've done as much as we can do as a club and it's now up to Matt."
Jarvis has been given a month to make a decision on the new contract. If he decides to reject it the club will still be entitled to compensation, as Matty was developed through the youth set-up.
