Defender Kevin Lokko has made the move to Crabble from Stevenage a permanent one after signing a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Lokko, an England C international, who can operate both at centre-back and left-back, made 12 appearances for Dover while on loan from the League Two club last season.

The 22-year-old scored one goal in that time with us, in the 2-0 win at Chester in March.

The former Norwich, Colchester and Welling man played in 41 National League games for Maidstone United before joining Stevenage for an undisclosed fee last August.

He then joined Dagenham and Redbridge on loan, making 25 National League appearances, including one against Whites in November, before being recalled by his parent club in February.

Welcome back to Crabble Kevin!!

We are delighted to announce that goalkeeper Mitch Walker has agreed a new one-year deal to remain at the club.

He is the third player to re-sign after Josh Passley and Kadell Daniel both agreed new terms.

Walker, who signed for Whites from Brighton & Hove Albion in May 2012 and has made 246 appearances since then, was an ever-present in our Vanamara National League campaign last season, playing all 46 games.

The 26-year-old kept 18 clean sheets during the season.

The former England C man was also named as the Vanamara National League Player of the Month for March after four consecutive clean sheets in the wins against Leyton Orient (1-0), Chester (2-0) and Macclesfield Town (2-0) before the 0-0 draw at Barrow AFC.

Great to see you again Mitch !!

Femi Ilesanmi has informed the club that he will not be taking up the contract offered to him, opting to re-join his former club, Boreham Wood.

The 27-year-old left-back joined Dover from Wood last June and made 45 National League appearances for us, scoring twice in the process.

The club wish to thank Femi for his efforts while at the club and wish him all the best for the future.

First team coach Mark Newson has agreed to stay for another season, his fourth at Crabble.

The 57-year-old former Bournemouth and Fulham captain took charge again at Dover’s first pre-season training session at K Sports Cobdown on Saturday.

Newson, a youth team coach at Premier League Crystal Palace, made almost 200 appearances for Bournemouth and led them to the Division 3 title in the 1985/86 season.

He was also assistant manager at League One Stevenage Town in 2012/13.

We are delighted to announce that winger Kadell Daniel has re-signed with the club.

Kadell, who celebrated his 24^th birthday earlier this month, scored twice in 39 appearances in his debut season for us last season, including a stunning solo effort in the win at Aldershot Town.

He came through the ranks at Crystal Palace earning a professional contract in July 2012 before leaving for Charlton Athletic the following year.

During his time at the Valley, Kadell spent time on loan with both Hayes & Yeading United and at Torquay United.

After being released by Charlton, the Guyana under-23 representative, joined Woking where he scored three goals in 21 National League appearances.

He then moved to Welling United, scoring three goals in 16 National League games.

After leaving Welling, Kadell spent time at Dulwich Hamlet and Leatherhead.

Welcome back to Crabble Kadell !!
