Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Arjanit Krasniqi, subject to FA approval.

The 22-year-old former Kosovo under-21 captain returns to Crabble after making 18 National League appearances for us last season after arriving on a non-contract basis from National League South side Braintree Town in late January.

He is manager Andy Hessenthaler’s eighth summer signing following the arrival of Jake Goodman, Jordan Higgs, Alfie Paxman, Alfie Pavey, Stuart Nelson, Tyrone Sterling, and Luke Wanadio.

Krasniqi was born and raised in London and represented his father’s native Kosovo at under-19 and 21 levels.

He spent 18 months with Colchester United before being released at the same time as former Dover Athletic defender Paul Rooney.

After his release, Krasniqi made seven appearances for Billericay Town before joining the Finnish side, SJK, in February 2020.

His contract was cancelled by mutual consent in September 2020 and he returned home and joined Braintree in October where he scored two goals in 12 appearances last season.

Welcome back to Crabble, Arjanit !!
