Dover Athletic sign Gateshead striker Steven Rigg

Dover have confirmed the signing of striker Steven Rigg on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old joins from Gateshead as the eighth new arrival at the club so far this summer.

Rigg managed nine goals and 44 appearances in the National League last season, only to see Gateshead demoted for financial breaches.

He began his career with Penrith, registering 60 goals across two seasons with the Northern League side before sealing a switch to League Two outfit Carlisle United.

Having made 36 appearances for Carlisle, he then joined Barrow on loan followed by a spell at Queen of the South after his release by United.

Rigg re-joined Carlisle in October 2017 and later spent time at Chorley, Workington and American club Erie Commodores FC until he signed for Gateshead in 2018.

He arrives at Crabble behind Yusuf Mersin, Jack Munns, Michael Woods, Paul Rooney, Kurtis Cumberbatch, Oscar Gobern and Will de Havilland.
