DINO VISSER JOINS LEEK TOWN

The Club are pleased to announce the signing of the vastly experienced Dino Visser.

Dino has a wealth of experience and began his career with Platinum Stars in his native country South Africa, making his Premier Soccer League debut in March 2011. Visser also played for Bloemfontein Celtic, Black Leopards and Polokwane City. He was the regular first-team goalkeeper at Santos during the 2016–17 season. Despite this, the club were relegated out of the National First Division. He returned to the top-flight with former club Platinum Stars the next season as the regular first-choice goalkeeper and remained as such when Platinum Stars was sold and renamed to Cape Umoya United.

In June 2019, Dino moved to England and signed a short-term deal at Exeter City, he has also played for Crewe Alexandra and Port Vale. In September 2022 he signed for Hereford & became the club's first-choice goalkeeper after Christmas. He made 22 appearances in all competitions before being released by new manager Paul Caddis at the end of the 2022–23 season.

Josh Brehaut, Manager, said "I am delighted that we have captured Dinos signature, he is vastly experienced and will be a key addition to the squad. I am sure everyone at the Club will make him very welcome."

Jon Eeles, Chairman, added "We met Dino last season and very nearly signed him before Danny Roberts returned from injury but Hereford, who are a higher division than us, beat us to it. Im looking forward to seeing him in a Leek Town shirt"

Welcome to Leek Town Dino !
