Dover Athletic have announced the signing of goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin.
The 24-year-old arrives at Crabble on a two-year deal having been released by League Two side Crawley Town earlier this month.
Mersin marks a replacement for former Whites shot-stopper Mitch Walker following his departure after seven years at the club.
The six-foot-five shot-stopper made 19 appearances across all formats during his three-year stay with Crawley, including eight appearances over the 2018/2019 campaign.
He started out his career with Millwall's youth set-up before sealing a move to Liverpool's academy in January 2010, where he later featured for the Anfield club's under-18s and under-23s.
Mersin eventually moved on to Turkish Premier League side Kasimpasa in 2014 until he returned to England with Crawley in 2016.
The London-born Turkey international, who has played for his country at both under-17 and under-18 level, is now set to rival Lee Worgan between the sticks after the 35-year-old claimed the starting spot ahead of Walker over the second half of last season.
Dover are meanwhile still waiting on responses to new contract offers from Mitch Brundle, Anthony Jeffrey, Joe Bedford and Bedsente Gomis, having already tied down Bobby-Joe Taylor on a new two-year deal.
