Andy Hessenthaler’s first task as Athletic manager will be to secure a first win on the road this campaign when his side travel to North Yorkshire on Saturday.
Athletic have drawn three and lost four matches from seven outings this season and face a Harrogate side searching for a home win at the third attempt.
A 3-0 defeat by Leyton Orient, followed by a goalless draw with Wrexham ended a run of four consecutive victories at the CNG Stadium for Simon Weaver’s men.
And Dover’s two new signings are in contention to feature.
Stewart Lewis and Joshua Debayo joined Whites’ on Thursday, with Lewis joining permanently from fellow National League side Maidstone United and Debayo on loan from League One Cheltenham Town.

Callum Howe has been finding the back of the net on a regular basis. The former Lincoln defender has netted five goals already this term.
HARROGATE’S LAST FIVE RESULTS
