Dover Athletic add defensive backup
Dover Athletic boss Andy Hessenthaler has
added to his defensive options by signing Will
de Havilland (pictured right) ahead of the new
National League season.
The 24-year-old centre-back has penned a
two year deal with the Whites, who finished in
a credible 14th place last season after earlier
flirting with relegation.
De Havilland made 42 National League and
two FA Cup appearances for Maidstone United
last season and was acting captain in 16 of
those games.
He joined the Stones on a two-year deal following his release by League Two Wycombe
Wanderers last summer, but had a release clause in his contract following Maidstone’s
relegation.
De Havilland was on the books at Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday before joining Wycombe
in the summer of 2016.
During his time with the Chairboys, De Havilland spent time on loan at Aldershot Town and
Maidstone before making the move to the Gallagher a permanent one.
Meanwhile, the Whites have added further defensive cover with the signing of Oscar Gobern
who spent last season at fellow National League club Eastleigh, making 45 appearances for
the Spitfires.
They have continued to strengthen and prepare
for the new campaign by also confirming the
signing of goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin, (pictured

The 24-year-old Londoner, who stands at six
feet and five inches tall, featured 19 times for
Crawley Town during a three-year spell with the
League Two club before being released earlier
this year.
