Young defender Corey Koerner has joined Southern League Premier Division South side Tiverton Town.
The 18-year-old posted a picture on his own X/Twitter account showing him turning out for the Ambers in a pre-season friendly against Willand Rovers on Saturday which suggests this is a permanent move rather than another loan deal.
The now apparently former Glover turned out for Yeovil as a second half substitute in the pre-season friendly against Cardiff City Under-21s last Tuesday night and had also featured against Chippenham Town, Sherborne Town and Exmouth Town.
However, it appears his time at Yeovil is now over. Best of luck in the future, Corey.
If this is permanent, then I’m genuinely baffled as to how we’ve let that happen. All of this post takeover positivity has disappeared rather quickly, I’m now starting to doubt this Dubai based businessman’s apparent new found love for Yeovil. I really hope I’m proven wrong, but I’m starting to get a bad feeling…
I’m more perplexed why, when we’ve had 4-5 trialists with us for 3-4 weeks and not (publicly) announced any of them as signings. Is it a funding thing? Who knows….but surely if there are players willing to stick around, you’d hope a contract is on the table. By this time of the pre-season there has to be enough of a squad to get rolling.
I reckon it’s a funding thing. Mark Cooper has said that he has been talking to Stuart and Prabhu about adding to the squad to sign some quality. To me that is code for asking them to dip their hands in their pockets and that the quality referred to are some of those trialists.
Reading “Measured” may mean very limited this season; while trying to manage the reuniting of club and land, plus training facilities. Anyone remember Gary’s Gambles from his first tenure? Abdu El Kholti wasn’t a bad gamble 😃 we could do with 1-2 of those!
In the spirit of openness, the club really should have announced something, whether it’s permanent or a loan. Whatever it is, I wish Corey all the best and hopefully we will see him return to play for us again when he’s ready for the National League, or whatever league we’re in.
