After winning promotion as National League South champions at the first attempt, Yeovil Town are now in much healthier when they were relegated at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Now the Glovers are back in the National League and, after four relegations in a decade, things are looking up and the stability is the key at Huish Park - after manager Mark Cooper recently agreed a new three-year deal.
Over the summer, Cooper has moved to refresh his attacking options after the departures of Alex Fisher, Jake Hyde and Rhys Murphy with the signings of Harvey Greenslade and Aaron Jarvis. The signing of Jarvis will see him reunited with his former Torquay United strike partner Frank Nouble. Also arriving from Plainmoor is midfielder Brett McGavin, who will give Cooper a different option in the centre of the park.
A season of consolidation appears on the cards for the Glovers, but Cooper knows the league well from his spells with Darlington and Forest Green Rovers - so they cause a few surprises along the way.
Player to watch: Aaron Jarvis
In his last season in the National League with Torquay United, Aaron Jarvis netted 18 goals in all competitions and Mark Cooper will be hoping he can be amongst the goals again in 2024-25. Jarvis is also reunited with his one-time Plainmoor strike partner Frank Nouble, and they enjoyed a purple patch towards the end of the 2022-23 season, as the Gulls almost avoided relegation from the National League.
