Torquay United have boosted their attacking options ahead of their two-legged FA Trophy semi-final with Wrexham with the loan signing of John Campbell from Oxford United.
Campbell, 26, started his career as a Manchester City youth team player before returning to his native North East to sign for non-league side Newcastle Benfield.
He later returned to the professional ranks briefly with Darlington and then had spells with Bedlington Terriers and West Auckland.
However, it was a stint with Jarrow Roofing - a club that former Gulls Wes Saunders and Eifion Williams have both appeared for - earned him another shot at league football.
After scoring 18 goals in 14 appearances for Roofing, he agreed a deal with Oxford and he made his debut for the U's against Hartlepool United on December 20th 2014. Eight days later, he scored his first league goal against Plymouth Argyle.
Campbell will remain with the Gulls until the end of the current campaign.
