Torquay United keeper Bobby Olejnik has become the first big money departure from Plainmoor of the close season after agreeing a move to Championship side Peterborough United.
The deal is believed to be in the region of £300,000 for Austrian Under-21 cap Olejnik, 25, who was ever present for the Gulls during the 2012-13 season after joining from Scottish Premier League side Falkirk last summer on a free transfer.
Since his arrival at TQ1, Olejnik has been a big hit with the Plainmoor faithful as he kept a club record 20 clean sheets for the season and finished as runner-up in the club's Player of the Year award.
He was also one of four Gulls' players named in the PFA League Two Team of the Season.
Gulls' boss Martin Ling was disappointed to lose Bobby, but has stated that he is in talks regarding possible replacements for the Austrian custodian.
"It is a great deal for our club and for Bobby. My job as manager is to buy low, sell for a profit and then fetch in low again." said Ling.
"That is the nature of the beast in League Two and this has been a great bit of business.
"Obviously we have lost a very good goalkeeper and I am speaking to agents to say we need a new keeper, as well as the other targets we are looking at."
The deal also includes a sell-on clause which will give Torquay a share of the profits from any future sale of Olejnik whilst he is with the Posh.
