Defender Kyle Ferguson has returned to Yeovil Town after becoming the second permanent signing of the summer at Huish Park.

The 25-year-old, the son of former Scotland midfielder, Barry, impressed during a four-match spell on loan from Rochdale at the end of the 2024-25 season and was released by the Greater Manchester club in May.

The 6’4″ defender was confirmed as signing a one-year deal in the announcement made by the club on Monday afternoon. He becomes the second signing to pen a 12-month contract following the signing of striker Tahvon Campbell last week.

Speaking about the signing, manager Mark Cooper said: “Kyle settled in really well during his loan spell and showed us exactly what he’s about. He’s strong, intelligent on the ball, and a great character to have around the group. We’re pleased to have him back on board permanently.”

The Glovers set to return to pre-season training on Tuesday ahead of their first friendly fixture against Exmouth Town at the weekend.

Bhavna Vohra, the wife of Yeovil Town owner Prabhu Srinivasan, has been appointed a director of Yeovil Town Holdings Limited.

The filing on Companies House means she is the second director, alongside her husband, of the company which holds the exclusive buy-back rights for the land at Huish Park.

The paperwork does not tell us much else except that Bhavna is Indian and based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates – but we knew that.

When Inflection Holdings, the company which the Srinivasans used to complete the takeover, were confirmed by a Companies House listing earlier this month, Prabhu was also appointed a director of Yeovil Town Football & Athletic Club Limited, the business which does the club’s day-to-day business.

Speaking at the Fans’ Forum event on June 13th, Bhavna spoke about her hopes for the new ownership to grow its links with the community.

She said: “There are a lot of visions we have with the community. Over the last few days we have been working on what we want to do, we have been speaking with a lot of fans, a lot of people in the community to see what it is we can do with you and how we can do it.

“For us this is not just a club, this is history and it is history we want to contribute to and bring it to another level for the next generation and we want to get involved in things like the (Memory Lane) breakfast morning for adults (living with dementia and their carers).

“There is no end of things we want to do with the community because, with the welcome we have received, we feel we are already a part of it.”

Jordan Thomas has rejoined Torquay United ahead of the 2025/26 season on a permanent, two-year contract.

The defender, who joined Yeovil 12 months ago, spent time at both Salisbury and Torquay during the season and was part of the Gulls’ play-off campaign, playing 27 times in the league.

He only played five times for Yeovil during the season, most recently a two-minute cameo in the 1-0 away win over Southend in November.

He signed a deal that was originally set to end in the Summer of 2026, departing Huish Park with a year remaining on his deal. 

All the best, Jordan.

Defender Alex Whittle has signed a one-year contract extension to remain a Yeovil Town player for the upcoming 2025-26 season.

The left back, who took the captain’s armband towards the end of last season, has agreed a season and the deal which includes an option to extend the deal through for an additional year.

Speaking to the club’s social media on Tuesday, he said: “I am delighted to be back, it took a few weeks to sort whilst I was away on holiday but once I was back I was happy to get it sorted. I always wanted to stay, but there were a few weeks before the takeover happened and then I was away so there were a few things to sort out, a few minor details, but once it was sorted I was delighted.

“The first season was a real high and last season was more trying to finish as high as we can, but this season we want to kick on again and try and aim for the play-offs and kick on from there. Pre-season is a quick turnaround, it will be a few days of running hard and fast and then the games come thick and fast again, so I am happy and I can’t wait to get going.”

In a statement published on Tuesday, manager Mark Cooper said: “Alex has been excellent for us. He’s a reliable, hard-working player who sets the standard every day in training and on matchdays. I’m really pleased he’s staying with us – he’s an important part of the group.”

Whittle could well pass 100 league appearances for the Glovers this season, and was part of the side which lifted the title during the 2023/24 National League South campaign.

The 32-year-old originally joined the club in the summer of 2023 following his release by York City. He had previously played under Cooper at Forest Green Rovers in 2018 and had further Football League experience during a spell at Chesterfield.

Striker Tahvon Campbell has become Yeovil Town’s first summer signing and the first since the takeover by Prabhu Srinivasan.

The 28-year-old, who had two spells on loan at the club in 2016 and 2017 whilst in West Bromwich Albion’s academy, has agreed a one-year contract following the expiry of his contract at National League Premier Division side Solihull Moors.

He missed eight months of last season through injury and made just nine league appearances, scoring three goals, having been a key part of the Solihull side which reached the play-off final in 2023-20424 scoring nine times in 19 games.

Speaking to the club’s social media on Monday, Campbell said: “I am buzzing to be back, it is bringing back good memories. When I came here before that was my first Football League loan and it was challenging, and I think since then I am a totally different player, I know my strengths and I am confident in what I can do. I think it will be exciting for me to show the fans how I have matured.

“It feels familiar to me and the fans here were awesome the first time I was here and I can just imagine how it is going to be at the start of the season and in the pre-season games. I am excited to play in front of big crowds.

“I think at this level anyone can be in the top seven and anyone can challenge for the play-offs, so I think you have got the right mentality you can go for that.”

Manager Mark Cooper added: “We’re really pleased to bring Tahv back to Yeovil. He’s matured as a player since his first spell here, and he gives us an exciting option in the final third. His pace and movement will cause problems for defenders.”

During his first spell on loan at Huish Park in the second half of the 2015-16 season, Campbell managed one goal in 17 League Two appearances, a stunning 25-yard strike against Crawley Town, and when he returned for the first half he managed one goal in 19 league appearances, a 90th-minute winner in a 2-1 home victory over Colchester United. When he returned to Somerset as a Woking player in December 2021, he put the Cards ahead before three late goals – including a brace from Adi Yussuf, who had a long-awaited kip afterwards – earned Darren Sarll’s side a 3-1 win.

Having started his career at The Hawthorns, Campbell had a nomadic career across the Football League and non-League and played under Cooper at Forest Green Rovers in 2018 before turning out for clubs including Gillingham and Cheltenham Town in the League and then the likes of Woking, Wealdstone and Rochdale in non-League.

His most prolific season in front of goal saw him score 14 times in 23 league matches for Woking in the 2021-22 season, earning a move to Rochdale in January 2022.

Yeovil Town owner Prabhu Srinivasan interviewed during a visit to Huish Park.

Inflection Holding Ltd, the Dubai-based company owned by Prabhu Srinivasan, officially owns Yeovil Town FC, according to documents filed with Companies House.

The filings, registered on Friday, shows the appointment of the new owner as a director of Yeovil Town Holdings Ltd and Yeovil Football & Athletic Club Ltd and the end of former owner Martin Hellier’s directorship and the end of the Hellier Trading Group’s interest in the club.

The documents give the address of Inflection Holding (note: no ‘a’ in the official company name) as an office in the Dubai International Finance Centre in the United Arab Emirates. From some desktop research (i.e. Googling) it appears quite a number of companies have their ‘home’ there.

Yeovil Town Holdings is the company which holds the exclusive buy-back rights on land at Huish Park with Somerset Council, due to expire next May, whilst Yeovil Football & Athletic Club has previously been the club’s main operating company.

The Confirmation Statement published in 2024 showed Yeovil Town Holdings had 302 shareholders, albeit one of those, CV Leisure, a business which designates its nature of business as ‘Unlicensed restaurants and cafes’ and has one director, former club owner <NAME REDACTED>, is listed as shareholder 301 with 0 ordinary shares.

The statement showed the Hellier Trading Group, presumably now Inflection Holdings, as having 1,575,379 £1 shares which, if previous declarations made during previous takeovers are correct, make up 92% of the company’s shareholdings. The remaining 8% appears to be split between 300 shareholders (if we discount the 0 shares held by CV Leisure) have smaller stakes ranging from a single share to the 38,072 held by Mrs Lock.

Many shareholdings were bought by fans in the early 1990s when the club was on the brink of financial collapse and some notable names on the list include S.Rutter, presumably Steve Rutter, manager of the club at that time.

In other interesting (?) company filings news, Huish Park Partnership Limited, a company which listed former chairman and major shareholder John Fry and Norman Hayward as directors, was dissolved on May 20th.

In March, the accounts of Yeovil Town Football & Athletic Club showed it lost almost £2.8m during the return to the National League Premier Division in the 2023-24 season.

It highlighted the club m being kept afloat by  Hellier selling “assets from within a property portfolio” and highlight uncertainty about the club’s ability to continue as a going concern.
