Ex-Wrexham, Maidstone United and Ebbsfleet United winger Iffy Allen signs for Dover Athletic

A former Wrexham, Maidstone and Ebbsfleet winger has signed for Dover.

After a spell at Wrexham in 2017, Allen, who started as a junior at Fulham before turning professional with Barnet, joined Maidstone in 2019 and netted six times in the 2019/20 campaign.

He then went to Ebbsfleet in August 2020 but lasted only a year before signing for Lewes a year later.

The news comes after Whites - who won 2-1 at home against Isthmian Premier neighbours Folkestone on Saturday, with Academy player Henry Young scoring his first senior goal - also have agreed terms with ex-Oxford United teenage midfielder Joshua Anifowose and defender Michael Olarewaju.

Academy graduates Matty Holness, Young and Archie Hatcher have been promoted to Dover’s first-team squad ahead of the new season too.

They were added to Brundle’s ranks after Ricky Holmes left his role as Dover player-assistant to rejoin Farnborough, becoming the third player this summer to U-turn on their decision to sign for them, with Lee Flavin swiftly appointed his new No.2.

Whites welcome League 2 Crawley to Crabble tonight (7.45pm kick-off) for their latest pre-season friendly.
