Blue Square Bet South club Dover Athletic have completed the signing of former Premier League winger Jemal Johnson.

The 26 year-old has signed a contract until May 2012 after impressing boss Nicky Forster on trial.

He played in Whites’ 7-0 friendly win against Whitstable Town on Wednesday, winning a penalty for the first goal.

Born in the United States, Johnson came to England at the age of five, signing for Manchester United and then Blackburn Rovers as a teenager.

After serving his apprenticeship at Ewood Park, he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers and Milton Keynes Dons. He spent three years with the Midlands club, scoring twelve goals in ninety-six appearances.

In the past year Johnson has experienced Bulgaria’s top flight with Lokomotiv Sofia, where he was one of only a few foreign players. He left Bulgaria last summer and had a short spell with Southend United earlier this season.

Johnson will go straight into tomorrow’s squad for the first ever visit of Truro City to Perrys Crabble.
