Harry Beadle has been retained by Dover Athletic after agreeing new terms with the club ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The 23-year-old defender arrived at Crabble ahead of last season and quickly became an important part of the squad, making 35 appearances in a Dover shirt during his first campaign with the Whites.

Beadle joined Dover after spending time with fellow National League South side Aveley, having signed for the Millers following his departure from Colchester United.

A product of the academy at Charlton Athletic, Harry earned a professional contract with Colchester in the summer of 2021 and made his senior debut during the 2021/22 season in the Papa John’s Trophy against Gillingham.

He later signed a further one-year deal with the U’s and gained valuable senior experience during loan spells with both Braintree Town and Bishop’s Stortford, featuring in National League North.

Beadle now heads into a second season at Crabble looking to build on a solid first year in black and white.
