Torbay-born Kieffer Moore has continued his rise up the football pyramid by joining Yeovil Town from Dorchester Town for an undisclosed fee.
Moore, 20, scored 20 times last season in Conference South last season, which included seven for Dorchester and 13 for Truro City- who he left in February of this year due to the financial problems at the Cornish club.
He had arrived at Treyew Road at the start of the 2012-13 season after playing for Paignton Saints in the South Devon League, but appeared to make the step-up to Conference South standard with ease.
After joining the Magpies, Kieffer continued to display the form he had showed for the White Tigers and attracted the attentions of several league clubs, including Championship side Charlton Athletic who invited him to train with them towards the end of last season.
Magpies' manager Phil Simkin also likened him to to Burnley striker Charlie Austin who appeared for Wessex League side Poole Town before his meteoric rise began with a move to Swindon Town.
Kieffer had spent the early part of pre-season training with Yeovil-ahead for the Glovers' debut Championship campaign- and sufficiently impressed manager Gary Johnson to be offered a contract at Huish Park.
He marked his move to the Glovers by scoring the opening goal in their 3-1 victory over Poole Town in their first pre-season friendly of the campaign.
In signing for Yeovil, Kieffer is following in the footsteps of several other players who have been plucked from the South West non-league scene in the recent past.
These include Kevin Hill, who went on to become Torquay United's record appearance maker after signing from Torrington in 1997, Martin Gritton who enjoyed a long career in the Football League with several clubs after joining Plymouth Argyle from Portheleven in 1999 and the late Adam Stansfield who-like Kieffer- was brought to Yeovil by Johnson when he was signed from from Elmore in 2001 before moving on to Hereford United and Exeter City.
It is highly likely that many observers of football in the South West will be keeping a close eye on the progress of Kieffer in what has turned out to be a 'Roy of the Rovers' esque tale in the past two years.
