Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of striker Kenny Coker ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Forward Kenny played for Bowers and Pitsea and Billericay Town in his early youth, before making the step up to Southend United. He played Under 18 football for the Shrimpers and made a brief first team breakthrough before making a move to Norwich City, and was an Under 18 and Under 21 player for the Canaries. 

He spent time with Chelmsford City on loan before joining Cray Wanderers last summer. He made thirty three appearances for the Wands and scored six goals. He spent the remainder of the season with Cheshunt scoring 5 goals in 10 appearances.

Jake Leberl has said:

We’re delighted that Kenny has chosen to join us. He’s a traditional No. 9 with all the attributes you’d want — he can hold the ball up, win headers, run the channels, and score goals. He has good pedigree and fits our ethos as someone hungry to get back into full-time football. With interest from several other clubs, we’re absolutely thrilled he’s signed with us.

Welcome to Crabble, Kenny!
