Dover Athletic sign former Gillingham youngster TJ Bramble, Sam Wood, Louis Collins and Josh Bexon

Dover Athletic boss Andy Hessenthaler has strengthened his squad with four new faces.

Among them is young midfielder TJ Bramble, who came through the youth system at Gillingham.

Sam Wood, released by Bromley in the summer, is another player who has worked with Hessenthaler previously when the pair were at Eastleigh together.

Wood featured against Dover twice last season for Bromley in the National League.

He started his career at Cray Wanderers and has also enjoyed success with Brentford and Wycombe during his Football League days.

Bramble, 19, came through the youth system at Gills and has spent time in non-league circles at the likes of Deal, East Grinstead and Sittingbourne.

He made his international debut for Antigua and Barbuda in a 3–2 win over Bermuda in March 2018.

Young striker Louis Collins will be looking to make the step up after joining from Sevenoaks.

Collins, son of Oaks boss Micky, is no stranger to full-time football, however, having been with League 2 Scunthorpe.

A regular goalscorer at youth level, he'll be looking to make a big impression at Crabble.

Former Southend keeper Josh Bexon completes the list of new faces at Crabble.

The 21-year-old came through the youth system at Southend and after loan spells at FC Kitzbuhel in Austria and Harlow, he spent all of last season playing for Harlow after being released from Roots Hall.

It was a day of good news for Dover with Academy graduate Marshall Wratten putting pen to paper on a deal that keeps him at Crabble for a further season.
