Former Bristol City, Welling United and Torquay United winger Toby Ajala joins Dover Athletic

Dover boss Chris Kinnear has bolstered his attacking options by signing winger Toby Ajala.

The former Bristol City, Welling United and Torquay United man joined on Tuesday after initially playing in the 2-0 pre-season win at Wealdstone in July before heading to Scotland for a trial with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

He scored six goals in 45 games for Torquay last season, where he finished with the Away Player of the Year award, and played in both games against Whites.

The 22-year-old joins former Torquay team-mate, striker Duane Ofori-Acheampong, at Crabble.

Ajala's arrival is timely one, with Kinnear already without injured wingers Tom Murphy (hamstring) and Ricky Modeste (ankle).

Kinnear said: "I just don't know how long they will be out for - you cannot rush those sort of injuries.

"So when there was an opportunity to bring Toby here to give us some more options we had a chat and here he is.

""He did well against us last season, he offers something different and besides, it's always good to be able to strengthen you squad."

Ajala will be in contention to make his debut in Saturday's Vanarama National League clash at Cheltenham Town.
