Teenage central defender Raphael Araoye has joined Yeovil Town on a youth loan from Bristol City until January 2025, the club has confirmed.

The 19-year-old, who stands 6’3″ tall, spent three months on loan in National League South with Weston-super-Mare and played the full 90 minutes at Huish Park in February, a match sealed by a late goal from his new defensive colleague Morgan Williams.

He is able to play in central defender, left-back or left wing-back and will provide options for Glovers’ boss Mark Cooper on the left side of defence, where Alex Whittle is his only current option.

Trialists Jacob Roddy and Brandon Haunstrup have both auditioned for a role in that position during pre-season, but they have both found opportunities elsewhere in recent days.

Araoye has been at Ashton Gate since the age of ten and progressed through the club’s youth system, signing a three-year deal with the Robins in August 2022. He joined Weston in January and stayed in north Somerset until mid-April when he returned to his parent club having made 15 appearances.

Welcome to Huish Park, Raf!

Striker Aaron Jarvis said he was pleased to have got through a full pre-season for Yeovil Town without any injury concerns.

The summer signing missed large periods of last season with Torquay United with a knee injury which restricted him to just 19 appearances in National League South.

He played his first full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win at Weston-super-Mare in the final pre-season friendly before the National League Premier season gets underway, and capped his appearance off with the opening goal.

Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel after the game in north Somerset, the 26-year-old said: “I have managed to get the minutes in, I missed a lot of last season out with injury, so the main target was to get a good pre-season under my belt and I am glad to have done that.

“It is a completely different style of play to Torquay and you can see the patterns we are trying to work on, we showed that today with some good moves and I was delighted to hit the net as well just to get that confidence back.

“I am feeling really positive about (the new season), there is a good group of lads here, the Gaffer has recruited well and I think it could be a really positive season for us.

“I am only going to get fitter as we go in to the season and hopefully I will get better at bringing other players in to the game, that is my main role in the team, to be a link to the front men and hopefully I can do much more of that.”

In the 64th minute at Weston, the striker controlled a forward pass from Michael Smith and finished nicely across the keeper to give Yeovil the lead. The goal was his third in five friendly appearances having netted early in the campaign at Melksham Town and Frome Town.

He admits manager Mark Cooper has a range of options in his forward line with fellow new arrival Harvey Greenslade, who has scored five times in pre-season and came off the bench at Weston, complementing those already in the squad which lifted the National League South title last season.

Jarvis added: “We have got a great selection of players across the frontline, really creative players which is great for me because I know they are going to find me and link up with me, so I am really looking forward to the season getting started next week.

“I am buzzing and can’t wait to get going and we have a good group of boys who are raring to get started as well.”

Yeovil Town manager Mark Cooper said he gave minutes to those players he expects to start next weekend’s National League Premier opener as his side ran out 2-0 winners at Weston-super-Mare on Saturday.

Of the players who many would expect to be in contention for a starting place against Hartlepool United next weekend only Dylan Morgan and Charlie Cooper were missing.

Morgan at the match with strapping on his knee whilst Cooper did not feature in the 5-0 win at Buckland Athletic in midweek having come off with a tight hamstring in the win at Farnborough Town seven days ago.

Against Weston, Sam Pearson was replaced by Harvey Greenslade after 62 minutes, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton replaced captain Matt Worthington on 73 minutes and Jordan Thomas and Finn Cousin-Dawson replaced Alex Whittle and Jake Wannell with four minutes remaining.

That meant a full 90 minutes for summer signings striker Aaron Jarvis, who opened the scoring, and midfielder Brett McGavin – make of that what you will.

Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel after the match, the manager said: “With a week to go, the people that are getting close to start are getting close to 90 minutes, so it’s a case where some are going to be upset they are not getting the minutes they wanted, but we have to make some decisions.

“We have got a really competitive squad and they understand that if they don’t play the first game, there is a chance they will play the second game.

“We have to keep that harmony and unity which we have got, I thought they worked hard today and we controlled large parts of the game against a good Weston-super-Mare team.”

He added: “We wanted a really competitive, realistic game and we got that. We said wanted the players to treat this like a league game with our preparation, training leading up to the game, and the way we played.

“It is still pre-season so it gets a bit slow at times, but the pitch was really good, not as hot as it has been, ideal conditions for a competitive game.

“The way we want to play was clear today. I want to control the game as much as possible, I don’t want the game to be end of end, I don’t want there to be lots of chances in our box, I want it to be us that has the ball and we did that for large parts of the game.”

Jarvis showed great chest control to collect a Michael Smith ball in the 64th minute at Weston before finishing nicely across the keeper to give Yeovil the lead, before Lo-Everton settled proceedings with the second five minutes from time.

Cooper was impressed with Jarvis, who missed large parts of last season with Torquay United through injury, and the boss admitted they have managed the 26-year-old’s minutes during pre-season.

He said: “We have been careful to manage his minutes and get him through. If you asked their centre backs, they will tell you he is a handful because he roughed them up at times and scored a goal and that is why we brought him to the club.

“We want him to be that focal point at the top of the team who we can play balls longer at time up to him.”

There were no trialists involved in the squad with the left-backs who had been auditioning early in pre-season, Charlton Athletic academy graduate Jacob Roddy and ex-Portsmouth man Brandon Haunstrup, having moved on. Roddy signed for National League South side Oxford City whilst Haunstrup was on trial at Gateshead on Saturday.

Brandon Haunstrup, who appeared twice on trial during pre-season, turned out for Gateshead on Saturday. He had a spell on loan on Tyneside whilst with Cambridge United last season.

Cooper reiterated that he is still hoping to strengthen his squad further with a his sights set on players who are still looking for a club on the eve of the start of the new season.

He said: “Once we get this late in to pre-season there are going to be players that do not get fixed up and they are the ones that we are targeting.

“If you look at last year, we got Michael Smith and Joe Day in really late on and they made a huge difference and we are looking for a signing of that quality and impact.”

The manager agreed a new three-year contract at Huish Park in the week with chairman Martin Hellier also announcing that there would be further budget made available to strengthen the squad.

Cooper said: “I’m really happy and thank the owner for having that faith. I have always had a really good relationship with him. We are aligned with where we want to do, we want to organically build the football club. It is going to be slowly, slowly and we want to be competitive.

“Once we had that alignment it was a no brainer for me, I am happy, I just want the football club to be united, everyone be together and the most importantly thing for me is that the fans, who have been amazing when I have been here, get behind the players, because it makes such a difference when they do.”

Next up, former Glovers’ boss Darren Sarll brings his Hartlepool United side to Huish Park for the National League Premier curtain-raiser.

On Saturday, the North East side signed former Yeovil loanee, goalkeeper Adam Smith, who had three spells on loan in Somerset during Sarll’s reign, and he was named among the substitutes for their 3-1 defeat at home to B side from Premier League Nottingham Forest.

Speaking after that game, Sarll called the performance his side’s “worst of pre-season” with the boss dropping a number of players expected to start at Huish Park.

Former Gloverscast Quiz Champion Rob Manley made his way to the seaside for Yeovil’s final friendly of preseason. He scribble some notes down for us (and you!)

The Glovers started out in a 4-2-3-1 and as both teams sparred early one, the Glovers were on top in terms of possession.

Aaron Jarvis was the first to have an effort at goal with a shot inside the box. That man, Brett McGavin lined up a  free kick not too long after which took a nick on the way through and was saved by keepers legs.

The Glovers remained on top and had a couple of opportunities to get behind the Weston defence, with Sam Pearson latching onto Jarvis’s flick on to test the keeper.

Sam Pearson nearly capitalised from a corner which fell to him at the back post but he could only fire over the bar.

Following a 25th minute water break, the hosts had their first effort at goal but the strike wasn’t great and flew wide.

Jarvis looked isolated as the half wore on, but the Glovers forced a late chance with Matt Worthington drawing a save from the keeper after a good cut back from Michael Smith.

Rob’s half time view: Not much in the game, a lot of possession in our back third and the middle, with half chances in front of their goal.

Half Time: Weston-super-Mare  0 Yeovil Town 0

It didnt take long for the Glovers to fashion a chance in the first half. Jarvis held the ball up well before giving it to Frank Nouble but no one could get on the end of his cross.

Jordan Young had a chance soon after, following a neat one-two with Pearson, Young struck a tame effort at goal.

It wasn’t all friendly by the seaside, Jake Wannell and former Yeovil striker Reuben Reid had a little flare up that saw them both receive yellow cards.

Jarvis showed good strength to hold off a Weston defender before trying to execute a lob that went straight at the keeper.

Reid had decent strike that was parried away by Ollie Wright and then cleared away by the Glovers defence.

In the 60th minute, Harvey Greenslade replaced Sam Pearson and soon after Yeovil found the breakthrough.

Michael Smith’s ball over the top was controlled by Jarvis who get his head up to put a lovely finish into the bottom corner. 1-0

There was a nice passage of play from Yeovil with lots of one-touch passing which finished up with Jordan Young striking wide.

The entrance of Greenslade saw Yeovil go more direct and look more threatening, creating a couple of chances for Jarvis. 

Sonny Blu Lo-Everton entered the fray and made an impact grabbing Yeovil’s second. Young’s great ball into box found Lo-Everton who took one touch before picking out the top corner. 2-0

Rob’s Full Time View: Decent run out against a physical, well-drilled Weston side. Our direct play made the difference, balls over the top, crosses into the box and getting the ball forward quickly was the key to the performance and result.

Full Time: Weston-super-Mare 0 Yeovil Town 2

The Glovers take on one final pre-season opponent before the real stuff gets underway next week and here’s how Yeovil Town line up.

The highly-successful back four of Michael Smith, Morgan Williams, Jake Wannell and Alex Whittle are back together striker Aaron Jarvis, Brett McGavin in midfield and goalkeeper Ollie Wright the only members of the starting XI who did not finish last season at Huish Park.

There’s no spot in the squad for Dylan Morgan or Charlie Cooper – hopefully nothing too serious there, whilst Corey Koerner is the only member of the Under-18s side in the group.

There are no trialists listed; Jacob Roddy has today signed for Oxford City whilst Brandon Haunstrup is currently playing for Gateshead, listed as a trialist. The former Portsmouth player had a spell on loan in Tyneside whilst a Cambridge United player.

The Yeovil Town Team in full:

(4-2-3-1- we think)

Ollie Wright

Michael Smith – Morgan Williams – Jake Wannell – Alex Whittle

Matt Worthington – Brett McGavin

Sam Pearson – Frank Nouble – Jordan Young

Aaron Jarvis

Substitutes: Matt Gould, Jordan Thomas, Finn Cousin-Dawson, Harvey Greenslade, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, Corey Koerner.

Former Yeovil Town defender Ollie Haste has signed for Dorchester Town after leaving Huish Park.

Haste, who made just two league appearances for the Glovers – on the final day of each of the last two seasons – head to Dorchester where he spent last season on loan with great success.

There were reports this summer that he was considering options in the states, but opts for something a little closer to home.

Haste remains (to the best of our knowledge) the youngest man to Captain Yeovil in a first team game when he led out a mostly Under 18s side in the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup.

All the best, Ollie

Jacob Roddy, or as he was known around these parts, ‘Trialist A’ has signed for National League South Side, Oxford City.

The former Charlton and Dagenham defender had been training with the Glovers and made a couple of appearances for Mark Coopers’ side in the early part of of the friendly schedule.

Tom Bailey is back with transfer round up of the National League, including Glovers corner…

Glovers’ Corner

Before we dive into the National League ins and outs, let’s look at the former Glovers that have moved about in the last couple of weeks. We may miss a few, so if any of you see any we may have missed, tag us on Facebook or Twitter (or X), or leave a comment below and we’ll add them in the next week’s round-up!

Well, after a quiet week last week, there have been a bunch of former Glovers on the move this week! Two players that were members of that unfortunate season in 2022/23 have made new homes, with Jamie Andrews and Miguel Freckleton (seriously, they played for the club in the same season) joining Woking from West Brom, and Swindon from Sheffield United respectively. One more member of that side has a new club too, as Louis Britton signed for Bristol Manor Farm from Maldon & Tiptree.

Two former Welshmen have found a new club together as well, as both Daniel Alfei and Shaun MacDonald have joined Trefelin in the Cyrmu South, Alfei returning to football after a couple years out of the sport, and MacDonald signing from Penybont. Steven Caulker is on the move as well, the Sierra Leone international (and long-time target for GloverPast, invitation is always there for you Steven if you’re reading!) joins Ankara Keçiörengücü from fifth-tier Spanish side Málaga City.

Finally, Omari Patrick returned to the EFL following relegation with Sutton United, as he signed for Tranmere Rovers this week.

Shaun MacDonald in action for Yeovil Town.

Craig Alcock was announced this week at Thame United, after a stint with Harlow Town, and on the Friday I write this, Mark Beck has joined Gateshead, following his spell with Solihull Moors.
