*BS*DOVER ATHLETIC last night signed striker Jason Norville until the end of the season.

*BF*The former Watford and Barnet striker, 27, from Trindad and Tobago, has recently been on trial with Andy Hessenthaler’s Gillingham.

Norville – who is 5ft 11in tall – has also played in non-league for Woking and had loan spells at Welwyn Garden City and Wealdstone.

Boss Martin Hayes said: “He comes highly recommended and has good pedigree, having been a full-time pro for some years.

“Jason knows a few of our former Barnet contingent, having been at Underhill, and he should be a good fit here.

“We were made aware of his situation at Gillingham. They were not able to offer him anything, which has worked out nicely for us.”

*BS*JAMES ROGERS is to join Margate after leaving Dover Athletic by mutual consent.*BF*

James wanted to play regular first team football and joins former team-mates in Iain O’Connell’s squad at Hartsdown Park.

‘Rogo’ recently became Whites’ longest serving player, having made his debut against Moor Green in 2003, when he scored a memorable goal direct from a corner.

The versatile midfielder was a regular for Dover Athletic in the club’s rise through the Ryman League, playing at left back, in central midfield and on the wing. He played a crucial role in the Ryman Premier championship season, scoring several important goals from distance.

Whites’ boss Martin Hayes said: “James wanted first-team football. We thank him for his loyal service to the club and wish him all the best.”

He joins former teammates Craig Cloke, Laurence Ball, John Keister, Dean Grant and Shaun Welford at Hartsdown Park.

*IS*Elliott Charles turned goal poacher again, scoring twice from close range in the first half.*IF*

*BS*DOVER ATHLETIC overcame the potential banana skin of Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Erith Town, easing to a 5-1 victory after a few early scares.*BF*

Well travelled Leroy Huggins struck the post twice for Erith but goals from Elliott Charles (2), Sam Long and Adam Birchall (2) saw Dover through to the next round.

Whites progress to the third qualifying round and the draw will take place on Monday lunchtime. League action resumes next weekend, as Martin Hayes’ men travel to Hampton & Richmond, scene of Olly Schulz’s set piece hat-trick last season.

Kevin Harris writes of the Erith performance: “Midway through the half, Whites got the vital opening goal. Birchall raced down the left channel, before fizzing the ball across the face of goal. Elliott Charles was on hand to tap in at the far post, to the delight of the large number of travelling Whites fans.

*Lpic1*”Sam Long was replaced by the fresh legs of Nicky Nicolau at the break, and Dover, with the wind in their favour now, dominated the second half.

“Martin Hayes rested Wallis and I’Anson for the final quarter of the game, with Tabiri and Cutler coming on to form a new central midfield partnership. And minutes later, Dover netted the fifth. Nicolau and Baker combined to set-up Birchall, and from six-yards out Adam drilled the ball into the net.”
