Dover Athletic: Anthony Jeffrey set to leave this summer

00:00, 22 June 2019

Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler has confirmed Anthony Jeffrey is set to leave the club.

Jeffrey is currently representing Guyana in the CONCACAF Gold Cup after helping his nation qualify for the tournament for the first time in its history back in March.

He is now expected to pursue a move elsewhere having not responded to the contract offer tabled by Dover at the end of the season.

Hessenthaler said: "It looks like Anthony Jeffrey won't be coming back now, that's not happening.

"I didn't get any correspondence from his agent, he's playing in the Gold Cup at the moment as well so we've had to move on from that one. I think Anthony is going to have options elsewhere and he goes with our best wishes.

"That's an area where we will be looking to fill. We made him an offer, they (Jeffrey and his agent) knew of the offer. They pretty much said they were going to come back to me before I went on holiday but I never heard anything, we can't hang around and it looks like he's going to move on.

"Where? I don't know as he's out at the Gold Cup at the moment but he's not looking like he's coming back to Dover."

The winger made 36 appearances across all formats last season, contributing three goals and five assists to help Whites seal National League survival.

He notably came off the bench to score as Dover won 3-2 having been 2-0 down away to Barrow to secure their spot in the division.

The 24-year-old, who began his career at Arsenal, signed for Dover in July 2018 from Sutton United having made 21 appearances in a loan spell with the club the previous season.

He has also spent time at Boreham Wood, Forest Green and Wycombe Wanderers, the former of whom he managed 32 appearances and six goals for across the 2016/17 campaign.
