Dover Athletic boss Chris Kinnear has moved to increase his defensive options by bringing in a defender on loan from Eastleigh.

Ayo Obileye has moved to Crabble for two months to help provide cover for Richard Orlu, whose hamstring injury is likely to sideline him for several more weeks.

Obileye, who turned 22 earlier this month, is a centre-back who launched his career at Sheffield Wednesday where he spent three years before joining Charlton Athletic in 2014.

While at The Valley the Hackney-born player made just over 40 appearances in two loan spells with then League 2 outfit Dagenham & Redbridge.

He moved to Eastleigh last summer but has yet play a Vanarama National League game for them.
