GULLS GET THEIR MAN

 Torquay United have looked to strengthen their squad with the addition of Jordan Young from Yeovil Town for an undisclosed fee.

Wiltshire-born Young, 25, who can play as a central midfielder, on the right wing, or as a second striker, was a National League South title winner with the Glovers in the 2023-24 season. He found the back of the net 16 times in 47 appearances in all competitions, which helped to earn him a place in the National League South team of the season, in addition to his league winner's medal. 

On several occasions in recent years, Young has crossed paths with United. He netted for the Glovers in both of their league encounters in 2023-24. Young was also on target for his previous club, Chippenham Town, in an FA Trophy tie at Plainmoor in 2022-23, which United won 3-2. 

He has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Gulls, which runs until the summer of 2027, and he is also reunited with his former Yeovil teammate Jay Foulston, who was also part of the Glovers' National League South title winning squad.
