Dover Athletic sign Ade Azeez on loan from Cambridge United

Dover have added to their attacking options by signing striker Ade Azeez on loan from Cambridge United.

The former Charlton Athletic and AFC Wimbledon hitman goes straight into Chris Kinnear's squad for the National League match at AFC Fylde on Saturday.

Kent-born Azeez joined Cambridge from Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle on a two-year deal last July and has so far made 16 appearances for the League 2 side.

He managed three goals in 46 appearances during his one season with the Jags, one of his goals coming in a 1-1 draw against champions Celtic.

Azeez's most productive spell came at AFC Wimbledon where he scored 14 goals in in 98 games, helping them win promotion to League 1 in 2016.

He had begun his Charlton at the age of 14 and progressed through the ranks before signing a professional contract in the summer of 2011

Chris Powell was his manager at the time and before leaving The Valley he had loan spells with Wycombe, Leyton Orient, Torquay and Dagenham & Redbridge.

He also won three England under-19s caps, against the Faroe Islands, Ukraine and Finland.

Boss Kinnear has been looking to increase his forward options for some time having lost both Jamie Allen and Tobi Sho-Silva to long-term injuries.
