Dover have extended one defender's loan while another loan stint at Crabble has come to an end.
Crawley centre-half Harry Ransom will now stay with Whites until the end of this season but full-back Junior Tiensia has returned to parent club Millwall, the club confirmed on Friday evening.
Tiensia had been due back with the Championship outfit after Whites' 3-1 loss to Dagenham on Sunday and, despite assistant manager Nicky Southall saying discussions were due to continue this week after that defeat at Victoria Road, Dover have confirmed the 21-year-old's stint with Andy Hessenthaler’s side has come to an end.
He made 16 appearances for the winless National League basement boys in all competitions this season after making his debut in a televised draw at Weymouth in September.
Tiensia is the second loan player to have left Whites recently, with four-goal top scorer Aaron Cosgrave having been recalled by AFC Wimbledon.
But Ransom is staying with Hessenthaler's side for a little longer yet, with his original deal having also expired.
He has scored once this season against Wealdstone and has made 17 appearances in total this term.
Ahead of Dover's match against sixth-placed Notts County this Saturday, it leaves the club with four loan players in their squad - goalkeeper Adam Parkes, of Watford, 22-year-old Ransom, midfielder Henry Woods and striker Alfie Pavey, who is on loan from Maidstone.
Gillingham loanee Woods is due back at Priestfield after the match against County.
Weekend opponents Notts County, meanwhile, extended wing-back Jayden Richardson's loan spell from neighbours Nottingham Forest until the end of the season on Friday, after signing midfielder Zak Brunt on loan from Sheffield United earlier this week.
