Dover Athletic are delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Siju Odelusi on a loan from Sutton United.

The 27-year-old arrives at the Megger Community Stadium after an impressive spell with the League Two side, where he made 50 appearances in all competitions during the 2024/25 National League campaign.

A former West Ham United trainee, Odelusi has built a strong reputation in non-league football for his tenacity, work rate and goal threat from midfield. His journey began at Tilbury FC, and he went on to represent Witham Town, Leiston, Hayes & Yeading United, Northwood, Westfield and Haringey Borough, before making his mark at Aveley.

During two standout seasons at Parkside, Odelusi helped Aveley secure back-to-back promotions, netting 17 goals in 2023/24 – 12 of them from the penalty spot – and earning a place in the National League South Team of the Season. He was also voted Aveley’s Player of the Season, recognised for his blend of defensive discipline and attacking impact.

His performances caught the eye of Sutton United, who handed him his first opportunity at National League level last summer. After a strong debut campaign in League Two, Odelusi now links up with Jake Leberl’s side as Dover continue to strengthen ahead of the 2025/26 season.

He will wear the number 28.
