National League South Champion Jay Foulston has joined Torquay United.
Foulston, who spent the second half of the season with the Glovers on loan from Taunton Town, heads to Plainmoor on the expiry of his Peacock’s contract.
When he arrived at Huish Park in December, Taunton said that there was a ‘view to a permanent deal’ for the Glovers to sign the defender at the end of his contract, but clearly that hasn’t been taken up.
Foulston played 21 times for Yeovil last season, including in a 3-0 win over the Gulls, and becomes the first signing for manager (and former Glover) Paul Wotton following the lifting of the club’s transfer embargo today.
Torquay had been unable to negotiate any player transfers since they served notice of their intention to go in to administration in February, but recently completed a takeover by The Bryn Consortium, led by journalist Michael Westcott.
All the best in Devon, Jay!
