Yeovil Town wrapped up pre-season for the 2026/27 season with a 2-1 defeat to League Two side Newport.

Luke McCormick gave the Glovers the lead in the very early stages, but Newport hit back through two bits of quality from set pieces. Goals from one time rumoured Glovers’ target Shaquille Gwengwe and Lee Jenkins sent the visitors, playing under new manager Hayden Mullins for the first time, back to South Wales with a win.

First half

After a quiet first few moments, Brett McGavin won the ball back and a combination of excellent work from Archie Davies down the right hand side to find Slavi Spasov who laid the ball into the path of Luke McCORMICK who struck the opening goal with pretty much the first chance of the match in only the fourth minute.

The Glovers were in control for most of the first ten minutes, McGavin had a shot deflected wide from distance and Slavi Spasov forced a chance from the resulting corner.

It took until almost 20 minutes ticked over on the clock before County found some attacking impetus, a free kick from Matt Smith was cleared, as was the recycled ball in from Smith after, with Spasov doing his defensive duties in his own penalty area.

Another free-kick for the EFL side caused slightly more concern for the Glovers a few minutes later, but Shaq Gwengwe’s effort was charged down by Skipper Luke McCormick.

Newport were just starting to get their movements going and Christian Doidge linked up with Yahya Bamba who was pressured by Jos Barker into making a decision and the effort was skewed wide.

The equaliser did come on the half hour mark with another free kick causing some hassle for the Glovers at the back and Shaquille GWENGWE bundled home at the back post.

A half of two halves came to a close with just a single additional minute added on. All square at 1-1, with both sides having their chances to find a second.

Second half

Zain Westbrooke and Ryan Jones were introduced at the break with James Daly and Brett McGavin taking the second half off.

Five minutes into the second half, another set piece caused problems for Yeovil. A cross whipped in from Matt Smith, Jos Barker didn’t claim the ball and LEE JENKINS tapped home at the back post to give the League Two side the lead for the first time in the fixture.

The clock had ticked towards the hour mark before Yeovil managed to impose themselves in the second half, Archie Davies once again proving to be the out ball. His right hand sided cross evading both McCormick and Spasov in the area.

Davies was causing trouble down the right hand side, he and Ryan Jones combined to play Westbrooke in, who’s cross was unable to find a green shirt and then calls for a penalty as Davies came together with a Newport defender, but appeals were waved away.

A couple of changes for Newport saw Ciaran Brennan and a trialist entered the fray.

It wasn’t long before the Glovers were again looking at the bench; Spasov, Gubbins and Radcliffe made way, with Ste Walker, Joy Mukena and Jack Kingdon coming on for the final 25 minutes.

The Glovers tried a training ground move for a free kick in a dangerous area, but McCormick’s effort was wayward.

McCormick would be replaced by Johl Powell with 20 minutes of the game left, whilst Davies made way for the Glovers’ own trialist (Brad De Jesus).

Ryan Jones and Ste Walker linked up well after the break in play, De Jesus created space for Jones to cut inside and take a shot which was well saved for a corner.

From the resulting set piece, Mukena had a chance cleared close to the line by Joe Thomas.

Plenty of Newport subs continued to break up the flow of the final stages, but the likes of De Jesus, Powell and Walker were all looking lively, in attacking areas.

Powell had a shot blocked in the final stages following a delightful dummy from Ste Walker after Norville-Williams had whipped a cross in down the left hand side.

That was all she wrote for the Glovers, as the clock ticked 90 minutes, the whistle brought the pre-season schedule to an end.

Yeovil head to Scunthorpe United to get their National League Premier Division season underway next weekend.

New Yeovil Town signing Ben Radcliffe comes straight into the starting line up for the Glovers’ final pre-season fixture against Newport.

Radcliffe is part of a three-man defence with Joe Gubbins and Hayden Muller.

Brett McGavin is on from the start after his sumptuous free-kick in the 1-1 draw at Farnham Town in the last outing, but there is no place in the starting XI for Zain Westbrooke, who has started every match of the campaign.

Slavi Spasov leads the line at the other end, supported by the trio of Mason Obeng, Luke McCormick and James Daly.

Former Fulham player Brad De Jesus remains with the team as a trailist and is expected to be named as a substitute.

Defender Ben Radcliffe has joined Yeovil Town on a six-month loan spell from League Two side Crawley Town.

The 22-year-old spent 13 games on loan in the National League Premier Division at Gateshead last season having played the entire second half of the 2024-25 season for his parent club in League One.

He arrives following the announcement on Friday that central defender Dan Ellison had joined National League South side Salisbury on loan until January.

Announcing his arrival ahead of the final pre-season friendly with Newport County on Saturday morning, the club said the player would add “further quality and versatility” to the Glovers’ squad with Radcliffe capable of playing in the middle of defence and midfield.

If the defensive unit is to be his position, the loanee joins a number of new faces in the backline and could feature in today’s friendly alongside Joe Gubbins,  Loick Ayina, Jack Kingdon, Hayden Muller, Jordan Norville-Williams, Archie Davies.

Having started his career in the Derby County academy, he joined Burton Albion’s youth set-up and had loan spells with Southern League Premier Division Central side Mickleover before being loaned to National League North side Banbury United.

His League debut for Burton came at the end of the 2022-23 season when he appeared as an 18th-minute substitute, but was released by the Brewers at the end of the campaign and subsequently joining Derby County’s under-21s set up but failed to make a League appearance despite making several matchday squads.

In September 2024 he joined Gateshead on loan before being brought back in to the Football League at Crawley by manager Rob Elliot, who had brought him in on loan at Gateshead. Despite Elliot’s sacking, Radcliffe went on to play 19 times at League One level with the Red Devils being relegated that season.

Elliot, by now back at Gateshead, brought him back on loan in February, and he was a regular presence for the Tynesiders until he was recalled by his parent club in late March after he picked up an injury.

Yeovil Town defender Dan Ellison has joined National League South side Salisbury on a six-month loan until January 2027.

The 21-year-old, who started the Glovers’ 1-1 draw in a pre-season friendly at Farnham Town on Tuesday night, returned to Huish Park at the end of last season having had a number of loan spells at Weston-super-Mare at the end of last season.

Announcing the move on Friday evening, the club said: “The temporary move will provide the young defender with the opportunity to gain valuable first-team experience, with regular senior football forming an important part of his continued development.”

Ellison featured in Salisbury’s pre-season friendly match with National League South rivals Havant & Waterlooville on Friday night. He played 80 minutes of the match which Salisbury won 5-0.

Despite the departure of central defenders including Jake Wannell, Kyle Ferguson and Finn Cousin-Dawson at the end of last season, manager Billy Rowley has strengthened his backline in the summer transfer window with the arrival of Joe Gubbins, Loick Ayina, Jack Kingdon, Hayden Muller and Jordan Norville-Williams, all who have experience of playing in the centre of defence. Former Arsenal academy defender William Lannin-Sweet had also been trialling with the Glovers during pre-season.

Ellison, who joined to much fanfare from Bristol Rovers last October, returned from his loans at Weston due to a defensive injury crisis and vowed to make an impression to Rowley.

Speaking to the BBC after the 2-1 defeat at Eastleigh on Easter Monday, he said: “It has been a tough season, tough mentally. Moving on from Bristol Rovers and coming here and then going on loan at Weston which was brilliant to actually play. I felt I did really well at Weston and really enjoyed it there, but coming back here is everything I wanted, I have a point to prove and I am getting chance until the end of the season. I am grateful to be back here.

“I feel I deserve (the opportunity). I came in here to be starting in the team but it did not end up happening which is fine, so I have gone to Weston and I feel like I have earned my place, earned the chance so I am going to enjoy playing until the end of the season.”

Yeovil Town boss Billy Rowley says he knows the players in his squad who can perform against different opposition in the upcoming National League season.

The Glovers were held to a 1-1 draw at National League South side Farnham Town in their penultimate pre-season friendly on Tuesday night, a fixture which saw the traditional high volume of substitutions in the second half.

Midfielder Brett McGavin gave the visitors the lead with a trademark free-kick after 24 minutes before the hosts levelled shortly after half-time.

Asked about how close he was to knowing his starting XI for the opening league fixture at Scunthorpe United in ten days time, the manager said: “You get idea of who is sharp, fit and hungry and I would say a lot of the lads are, but every game looks slightly different. Sometimes you are at home against a team who play with a back five and you need creative players, sometimes you are playing away from home against a team that presses and you might need fast players and sometimes you might be in a local derby and you need lads who will get stuck in.

“We try to build a team which can compete in different games and that will change week to week, but I have got a good idea of the players that can help the team win in different conditions. That is going to be the aim in the next few weeks, to find lads who can win games of football and not just look pretty. It is up to the coaching staff to lay out what the game plan looks like and that will look different week to week.”

One of the Yeovil substitutes was an unfamiliar face, former Fulham right-back Brad de Jesus, who was released by the Premier League side after his contract expired in the summer. He came on for Archie Davies after 68 minutes in Surrey.

Speaking about the trialist, Rowley said: “I had a phone call from a friend who coached him for years. I think he had a move to Portugal which fell through a few weeks ago and he asked if he could get involved. I have known Brad for a couple of years, he is a good player with a good attitude, I felt like he could do us a favour tonight and we could do him a favour and get him some game time. I will be catching up with in the next few days to see what that looks like, but he is a really good player and I was happy to have him with us tonight.”

The Glovers take on League Two side Newport County at Huish Park in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday and, whilst Rowley was pleased with his side’s performance at Farnham, he was less complimentary about the state of the pitch.

He said: “One thing that supporters do not see is the pitch. They were not able to water it before the game, so it was really sticky and dry which means you are not able to force balls between lines and split through teams easily. But I thought it was a good test, Farnham are a team on the up, they are only one league below us and have some lads who have played in our division. It was a good test, but I thought for the most part we were in control and dominate, we just didn’t create as much as we would have wanted to.”

A Brett McGavin free-kick in the first half earned Yeovil Town a draw in their penultimate pre-season friendly of the campaign at National League South new boys Farnham Town.

The midfielder bent in a trademark set piece after 24 minutes and went on to dominate the first half creating a number of chances which they did not take and they were punished when Sam Evans turned home soon after the restart.

There was the usual flurry of substitutes from both sides in the second half including one new face in former Fulham youngster defender Bradley de Jesus, and the game petered out in to a draw.

First half

Defenders Joy Mukena and Dan Ellison were both handed starts by manager Billy Rowley who started with striker Stephen Walker alongside fellow attackers Luke McCormick and Johl Powell.

There was no much to write home about in the opening 20 minutes as Farnham quickly made it clear they were looking to contain the visitors and hit them on the break as Yeovil dominated possession in the opening exchanges. An early long range effort from Brett McGavin and then an attempt to loft the ball over James Shaw in the Farnham goal were about as close as either side got to threatening.

When Yeovil were awarded a free-kick slightly to the left of goal and fully 30 yards out, there was only one man who was taking it. Brett McGAVIN range is Brett McGavin range. The midfielder stepped up and bent a(nother) beautiful set-piece in to the corner of the net after 24 minutes. Did anyone doubt he could?

McCormick tried to goal one better with ten minutes of the first half remaining when he tried an audacious scissor kick from a Johl Powell cross. Unfortunately, the Glovers’ captain could not find a connection. Five minutes later, Powell curled one just past the post with Yeovil thoroughly in control and pressing for a second goal as the game pressed towards half-time.

Half-time: Farnham Town 0 Yeovil Town 1

Second half

Within three minutes of the second half starting, Farnham levelled after Trae Appiah-Cook tricked his was past Dan Ellison and got a cross in which found Sam EVANS who got enough on it to turn it in to the net. The hosts had been looking to hit Yeovil on the counter attack in the first half and right at the start of the second half, they did it.

Just before the the hour mark, James Daly replaced McCormick and Joe Gubbins replaced Mukena before the hosts made a number of changes bringing on five new faces including the experienced midfielder Sam Hutchinson and striker Rakish Bingham.

Bingham almost made an immediate impact when he tried a spectacular chip after Yeovil give up possession, fortunately it goes just wide. Stephen Walker pulled an effort just wide before a flurry of substitutions after 68 minutes.

The new arrivals included ex-Arsenal academy defender William Lannin-Sweet or Will Sweet, depending how formal you want to be, and an unknown face. In his post-match interview, manager Billy Rowley revealed him to be ex-Fulham defender, Bradley de Jesus. To read what Rowley said about the former Portugal youth international – click here.

The 20-year-old was released by the Premier League club after a decade when his contract expired this summer. He joined the academy at Craven Cottage at under-12s level before going on to sign a professional contract in 2024 and played regularly for them at Under-21s level in Premier League B but did not make a first-team appearance.

Other than Bingham’s audacious effort there was not a huge amount to worry Yeovil goalkeeper Jos Barker, a fairly even affair but probably did not take the chances we created when we were on top in the first half.

Full time: Farnham Town 1 Yeovil Town 1

Teams:

First half – Yeovil Town: Jos Barker, Loick Ayina (for Jack Kingdon, 68), Joy Mukena (for Joe Gubbins, 56), Dan Ellison (for Jordan Norville-Williams, 68), Archie Davies (for Trialist B/William Lannin-Sweet, 68), Mason Obeng (for Trialist A, 68), Zain Westbrooke (for Hayden Muller, 68), Brett McGavin, Johl Powell (for Ryan Jones, 68), Luke McCormick (for James Daly, 56), Stephen Walker (for Slavi Spasov, 68).
