A forward who once played for West Ham in Europa League qualifying games has joined Dover, the club have announced.

Djair Parfitt-Williams, 25, bolsters Andy Hessenthaler's attacking options, having signed on a non-contract basis.

He signed for West Ham as a 14-year-old and came off the bench for the first-team in both legs of their Europa League qualifiers over Andorran side Lusitanos in July 2015, playing alongside the likes of striker Diafra Sakho, while he came on in place of ex-Lazio and Inter Milan frontman Mauro Zárate in the first leg.

He was named in Premier League squads, too, but was only an unused substitute on those occasions.

But Bermudan-born Parfitt-Williams did help the Hammers win the Under-21 Premier League Cup during their 2015/16 season, coming off the bench to score the winner in the first leg of their two-legged final against Hull.

In the then-named Papa John's Trophy, he also scored for the under-21s in a 1-1 draw with Northampton in November 2016, before the east London club won 3-2 on penalties. England international Declan Rice also played in that game.

Having left West Ham in 2018, he moved to Slovenia to sign for top-flight side NK Rudar Velenje, before linking up with Icelandic outfit Fylkir in February 2020, but he is now back in the UK.

Parfitt-Williams will wear the number 34 shirt for Whites.

National League basement boys Dover, without a weekend fixture following the postponement of their trip to FC Halifax due to a waterlogged pitch, are due in action at Aldershot on Tuesday before they welcome Grimsby to Crabble on Saturday.
