EASTLEIGH'S Ayo Obileye has joined National League rivals Dover Athletic on a two-month loan.
The powerfully-built, 6ft 3in defender is the second Spitfires centre-back to be loaned out by new boss Ronnie Moore following Connor Essam's move to Woking.
With skipper Ryan Cresswell and former Coventry City colossus Reda Johnson established as Moore's first-choice pairing and Adam Dugdale on the bench, there was no immediate prospect of Obileye breaking into the side.
Although he impressed in pre-season, the 22-year-old has yet to feature in a league game for the Spitfires since joining them from Charlton Athletic in the summer.
Eastleigh have the option of a 24-hour recall once 28 days have passed in his loan arrangement.
Obileye, who scored for the Spitfires in last night's 2-1 Hampshire Cup win at Alresford - is eligible to make his Dover debut at home to Lincoln City on Saturday.
