Dover Athletic sign winger Luke Wanadio ahead of National League South campaign

Dover have continued their summer rebuild, signing a winger.

Luke Wanadio, 29, joins after the arrival of midfielder Jordan Higgs, Alfie Paxman, returning striker Alfie Pavey, goalkeeper Stuart Nelson and returning defender Tyrone Sterling while centre-half Jake Goodman has agreed to stay with the club as well.

Saturday’s news comes after Wanadio had joined Isthmian Premier outfit Folkestone permanently for the second-half of last season from Dartford.

“Excited for this new chapter with @DoverAthletic, I’ve heard nothing but great things about the club and fans,” he said on Twitter.

“Can’t wait to start the season.”

On his time at Cheriton Road, he added: “Would like to thank everyone for welcoming me last season and making me enjoy my football again - a special club with an amazing bunch of fans who I will forever be grateful to.

“Hopefully promotion incoming, with some fantastic additions, wish you all the best.”

The news comes a day after Whites had announced coach Nicky Southall had left the Crabble outfit ahead of their 2022/23 National League South campaign.

Wanadio also counts Bromley, Aldershot and Welling among his other former clubs.
