Dover Athletic are delighted to announce the signings of former Whitehawk duo Joe Tennent and Luca Cocoracchio. 

The pair formed a solid partnership last season, alongside Mitch Walker, finishing with the joint-fourth best defensive record in the division! 

Prior to Whitehawk, Tennent made thirty two appearances for Three Bridges in 22/23, after returning to the club for a second spell. He moved back to Jubilee Field after starting the campaign with VCD Athletic, where he played ten times. At the end of the 23/24 campaign he was named as Whitehawk Managers’ Player of the Season.

Luca, a product of the Brighton and Hove academy and former Worthing man, joined Whitehawk in January 2023 and was part of their promotion winning side. 

Boss Jake Leberl has said

We are delighted to have signed them both. The two lads had very good seasons last year both individually and as a defensive unit. Luca and Joe have great experience at this level and most importantly are both top guys who wanted to come and believe in our rebuild project.
