Dover Athletic Academy midfielder Kieron Agbebi has earned a call-up to Andy Hessenthaler’s squad.

The 16-year-old will wear the number 35 shirt and he goes straight into the matchday squad for today’s National League game against Yeovil Town at Crabble.

Agbebi made his senior debut in the Kent Senior Cup defeat at Dartford earlier this month and now joins fellow Academy team-mates Noah Carney, George Wilkinson, Harrison Byford, and Luke Baptiste, in the senior squad alongside Academy graduates Will Moses and Marshall Wratten.

Agbebi joined the Academy in July last year and Academy Manager Mike Sandmann said he had progressed incredibly well in his first year.

“He is developing his game and improving every week in terms of his game understanding.

“Kieron is extremely athletic and is working hard to build himself physically where he is consistently working hard in the gym.

“He has a great lad, hardworking and determined to improve and progress.

“I couldn’t be more pleased for him to get his opportunity and be involved with the first team at such a young age.”
