We are delighted to announce that we have completed the permanent signing of former Hull City midfielder and local resident, midfielder Ryan Hanson.

Our new Number 25 played seven times while on loan with us from the then League One side last season.

The 20-year-old, a former Dover Boys Grammar School student, joined the Tigers in the summer of 2019 after being released by Crystal Palace, where he had spent five years.

He joined Palace after impressing while playing for the Dover Athletic under-13’s in a Kent League tournament.

Hanson started playing football for Dover Rangers when he was six and has also represented Dover District and Kent.

Welcome home, Ryan !!
