GOWLING AND PITTMAN SIGN FOR GULLS

Torquay United has further added to their squad with signing of central defender Josh Gowling and striker Jon-Paul Pittman.

Gowling, 33, who was released by Grimsby Town in the summer, who he helped win promotion back into the Football League, has played over 300 appearances in a career that includes a spell with AFC Bournemouth and a stint playing alongside Gulls manager Kevin Nicholson at Kidderminster Harriers.

Pittman is a former England C international, who also helped Grimsby to win promotion to League Two in 2016 with Gowling. With 68 goals in 256 appearances with a number of clubs including Crawley Town and Wycombe Wanderers, he joins a roster of strikers alongside Ruairi Keating and it is hoped his experience will hopefully rub off on the young Irishman.
