We would like to welcome another addition to the team, our new Media Officer, John McNicoll.

John was born and raised in Dover and has supported the club from near and far including a stint coaching the youth teams during the last decade. He is a keen writer and a published author of two books, An Ode to Four Four Two and An Ode to The Chosen Few, as well as appearing on many other footballing websites. John will take care of the social media side of things as well as keeping the website updated with all the relevant fixtures, tables, news, and so on.

‘Coming to work for Dover Athletic is an exciting opportunity and one that I couldn’t really turn down. I’m looking forward to getting started and trying to make sure that the fans are engaged and feel as close to the action as ever. We want to show all the hard work we are doing both on and off the pitch. Come on You Whites!

For any media enquiries contact John directly on [email protected]

Welcome to Crabble, John.

Whites welcome new kit man Bradley to the team.

A new year and a new era behind the scenes at Crabble with the outward departing Richard Harvey leaving a Persil sized hole to fill but as the old saying goes out with the old and in with the new. The Chairman had spoke on record at the gratitude towards Richard and the job he had done but now it’s time for Bradley Haywood to join the team.

Bradley is a family man with a 12 year old daughter called Olivia and when he is not sorting through muddy shorts, he can be found on the golf course. Having worked for over a decade in retail, Bradley was excited to join the club and realise his dream of working in football.

‘Being brought up with football and having such a passion for it, words can’t describe how excited I am for the challenge ahead. My first day was a dream for me, bar the result. I’m always happy to have a chat and get to know the supporters more so if you ever see me feel free to stop me for a chat. Come on Dover.’

Bradley signs off with a quite poignant quote. ‘Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.’

Welcome to Crabble, Bradley.

Dover Athletic Football Club has sadly said goodbye to Richard Harvey this week.

Richard first joined the media team as a volunteer in 2015 before taking over the kit manager role after Robin Hastie left ahead of the 2017/18 season.

He’s continued to look after both media, including being the editor of our matchday programme, and the kit since then.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said: “First and foremost, I’d like to say that Richard has worked tirelessly over many years for us, dedicating himself to the roles he plays and for the good of the club.

“He’s immensely respected and well-liked, not only at Dover Athletic but at many clubs around the country.

“I’d personally, and I know plenty of other people would too like to thank him for his outstanding commitment to us.

“We are all really sad to see him go but recognise he can leave with his head held high for a job done extremely well.

“There is no doubt that Richard, with who I had a good relationship with, will be hugely missed by everyone who knows him and I wish him well in whatever the future holds for him.

“He will always be welcome back at Crabble.”

Richard said:” The decision to leave was a hard one but it’s time for a change and the Chairman understands that and I thank him for that.

“I leave with plenty of memories and lots of friendships have been made at Crabble as well at clubs up and down the country, and I will always feel privileged to have worked for Dover Athletic.

“I really would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported me along the way and I would like to thank the managers, coaches, players, staff, and fans who have shared the journey with me.

“I wish you all the very best for the remainder of the season and the future.”
