Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of defender Henry Lukombo ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Henry came through the ranks at Billericay, making his debut aged 17. He signed for Sittingbourne last season and made 46 appearances as part of their incredible campaign. The 22 year old was a key part of the defence that kept 23 clean sheets and progressed to the FA Trophy Quarter Final.

Jake Leberl has said:

We’re delighted to announce the signing of Henry Lukombo — a player who first caught our eye during the Sittingbourne Cup games last season and went on to play a key role in their impressive campaign. Henry fits the ethos of what we’re building here. He’s a strong, athletic player with a great character who can play across the back line as well as in midfield. Like us, he’s hungry to progress, and we’re confident he’ll settle in well and be a great addition to the squad.

Welcome to Crabble, Henry!
