Season: 2016-2017

Bedsente Gomis

French player Bedsente Gomis signed for Dover in July 2018.

The midfielder arrives at Crabble after scoring five times in 43 appearances for fellow National League side Barrow AFC last season.

He joined the Bluebirds from Sutton United in June 2017 after making 129 appearances for the Gander Green Lane club, scoring 15 goals.

The 5ft 11ins former Lens junior won the Sutton Supporters’ Club Player of the Year award in 2014/15 season, his debut season.

Gomis has also had spells with Spanish clubs Puertollano and Almeria before a brief stint at Southend United, which was followed by his move to Sutton.

Ricky Modeste

Winger Modeste is in his second spell with Whites having initially signed in May 2012 from Chelmsford City.

Having started in Chelmsford’s youth set-up in 2007, Ricky became the club’s Young Player of the Year in 2009 and was a regular in the first team from then on.

That year Ricky was also chosen to appear in Sky One’s reality TV show Football Icon, making the final six contestants.

After signing for Dover, Modeste played a big role in the team’s promotion from the Skrill South, scoring twice in the play-off semi-final second leg win at Sutton United and setting up the winner in the final at Ebbsfleet.

The Grenada international joined Bostik Premier Billericay Town in the summer of 2017, winning the title in his first season, before leaving in December 2018 and rejoining Athletic later that same month.

Modeste featured 11 times for Whites’ last season and netted the all-important winner at Barrow to confirm Athletic’s National League status with three games to spare.
