Dartford have completed the capture of midfielder Jon Wallis from Blue Square Bet South rivals Dover Athletic.

The 25-year-old central midfielder (pictured) was offered terms to stay at Crabble this summer but has opted to leave the Whites after five years with the club and move to Princes Park.

Darts boss Tony Burman said: "I am delighted to attract Jon to the club. He has had a good five years at Dover and is an excellent player and I hope he can have another good five years here at Dartford."

The Gravesend-born player came through the youth ranks at Gillingham, going on to make 17 first-team appearances before being released and signing for Hereford United.

He helped Dover win promotion from Ryman League Division 1 South to Blue Square South but has found first-team opportunities limited following Andy Hessenthaler's departure and the arrival of new boss Martin Hayes, though Hayes had said he hoped Wallis would sign a new deal.
