Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Arjanit Krasniqi and he will go straight into the squad for Saturday’s National League game against Southend United at Crabble.

The 22-year-old former Kosovo under-21 captain joins us after making 19 appearances and scoring two goals in National League South for Braintree Town this season.

He also scored twice in a 3-1 win for Braintree in the FA Trophy Second Round tie against Potters Bar Town last November.

Krasniqi, who will wear the number 32 shirt for us, was born and raised in London and has represented his father’s native Kosovo at under-19 and 21 levels.

He started his senior career with Essex Senior League side Waltham Forest before he was signed by Colchester United in January 2018.

Krasniqi spent 18 months with the EFL side 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 Finnish side, SJK, on a two-year deal 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.

Everyone at Dover Athletic would like to welcome Arjanit to the club.
