Dover Athletic Football Club is excited to announce the signing of striker Ricky Miller.

The 32-year-old returns to Crabble as Manager Andy Hessentahler’s first summer signing after leaving fellow National League side Aldershot Town earlier this month.

Our new number 9 joined the Shots in January and made 22 appearances, scoring three goals, during his time with them.

Miller originally joined us from Luton Town in June 2015 and went on to score 68 goals in 101 appearances before leaving for League One club Peterborough United in 2017.

Since then he has played for Mansfield Town (loan) and Port Vale before joining Aldershot.

In his final season at Crabble, Miller was named National League Player of the Year,  DAFC Players’ Player of the Season, the Supporters Player of the Season, and the Golden Boot after he finished the season with 46 goals, including 40 in the National League.

Miller’s stunning goal tally in his final season here included five league hat-tricks –  including one in his farewell appearance at Barrow on the final day of the season to help Whites to a 3-2 win.

Since then he has played for Mansfield Town (loan) and Port Vale before joining Aldershot.

Welcome home, Ricky!!
