Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of former Gateshead utility man Mitch Brundle on a two-year deal.

The 22-year old Londoner, who can play in midfield and at full-back, made 34 National League appearances for the Heed last season, including both games against Whites, scoring twice.

He becomes boss Chris Kinnear’s third summer signing following goalkeeper Mitch Walker’s decision to stay at Crabble and forward Jamie Allen’s arrival from Southport.

Brundle joined Gateshead from Braintree Town last summer after making 77 appearances for the Essex club.

He was a member of Braintree side that finished third in the National League before losing to Grimsby in the play-off semi-finals in the 2015/16 season.

Brundle started his career in the youth ranks at Yeovil Town before joining Bristol City.

While at City, he made seven Football League appearances while out on loan at Cheltenham Town in the 2013/14 season.

Dover assistant manager Jake Leberl said: “Mitch is someone with plenty of versatility who can play in a number of positions, so we are delighted to get him.

“He has plenty of experience at this level for someone so young as himself but he also has the potential to develop even further.”

Welcome to Crabble Mitch!!
