Toby Stephens (Page 3)

Yeovil Town’s on loan youngster Ollie Haste was named ‘Man of the Match’ for Truro as his helped the White Tigers maintain their brilliant start to the season with a 1-0 away win over Hartley Wintney.

Haste played the full 90 minutes once again and topped out 39% of the vote in a Man of the Match poll after the game.

Nice work, Ollie.

Toby Stephens was not named in the match day squad.

Gloucester City were in FA Cup action, and much like in the last round, Ollie Hulbert was not given permission to play in case the Glovers need him at some stage in the competition.

As a side note, Gloucester this week changed their manager with Lee Mansell relieved of his duties before Stephen King was announced as their new head coach.

It’s an extra special, midweek Brucey bonus edition of the Loan Watch with some added international pizzazz to throw in too.

Let’s start at Truro where Ollie Haste continues to rack up the minutes for the White Tigers.

Another 90 for him on Tuesday with his side grabbing a late, late winner against Yate Town.

Haste also had a great chance to score his first goal for his adopted side shortly before half time, but saw his header go wide

Toby Stephens was not named in the match day squad.

Off to Gloucester we go, and Olivier Hulbert, our (not in any way) French winger was a second half subtitute for the Tigers in a 1-1 draw away at Banbury Utd in the National League North.

Hulbert came on in the 63rd minute with his side equalising in the 65th!


On loan Bournemouth defender Owen Bevan was in Vienna, Austria with the Wales Under 21 side on Tuesday evening.

Sadly, Matty Jones’ side lost 2-0 in the friendly fixture with Bevan coming on in the 82nd minute for his international debut.

Get back to Somerset, sharpish Owen, we’ll need you at Southend!

Ollie Haste notched up another 90 minutes for Truro City on Wednesday evening.

The White Tigers faced Weston Super-Mare in a league game and played out a 0‐0 draw against Reuben Reid’s side.

Haste played the entire game whilst Toby Stephens was an unused substitute in a game with fairly few chances between two unbeaten sides.

Only one of Yeovil Town’s loan duo was in action on Saturday as Toby Stephens completed his first 90 minutes for Truro.

The Cornish side were dumped out of the FA Cup by Merthyr Town losing 5-2 in the First Qualifying Round.

Paul Wotton‘s side were depleted through injury and availability naming just five subs on the bench with a full seven allowed.

Ollie Haste was not involved in the squad with Wotton saying post match that two of his loan signings – one of which was presumably Haste – was “not eligible to play in the FA Cup”.

We can assume then that Haste had not been given permission to play to avoid the youngster being cup-tied should the Glovers require him later on in the competition.

The White Tigers next fixture is… almost inexplicably… away at Merthyr Town again, this time in the league next Saturday.

Yeovil Town loanee Ollie Haste was back in the starting line up for Truro just 48 hours after hobbling off injured.

He played a full 90 minutes for the White Tigers in their 1-1 draw at Tiverton.

The midfielder has played a pivotal role so far for his adopted side and came close to getting off the mark for his new club in the 51st minute with a shot blocked from close range.

However, the points were shared after a late second half equaliser cancelled out Tyler Harvey’s opener for Truro.

Toby Stephens was an unused substitute in Devon.

Paul Wotton’s remain unbeaten so far this season.

Yeovil Town’s on loan duo Ollie Haste and Toby Stephens had very different days as their host side Truro City picked up a 4-1 win over Hendon.

Haste started the match but was replaced with just 24 minutes on the clock due to an injury.

After the game White Tigers’ gaffer – and former Glover – Paul Wotton said: “He (Haste) took a knee to the thigh, so he’s got a bit of a dead leg.”

They, like us, have a game on Monday and Wotton said he had a few nursing knocks so players will be assessed over the next 24 hours, but thankfully it doesn’t seem too serious for Haste.

Stephens was named on the bench for the second game in succession and came on for just over 30 minutes with the game finely poised.

He too, has had a slight injury concern during his temporary spell at Truro but is making a steady return to action.

Keep up the good work, lads !

Yeovil Town’s on-loan duo Ollie Haste and Toby Stephens both played for Truro City in their 3-1 win at Winchester City on Saturday.

Haste completed another 90 minutes and almost got his first goal for the White Tigers late on in their victory too.

Midfielder Stephens started the game on the bench and was introduced as an 80th minute substitute to make his first appearance since joining the Cornish side at the start of their Southern League Premier Division South campaign.

Well done on the win, lads.

Goalkeeper Max Evans didn’t feature for Larkhall Athletic, who drew 1-1 at Cowes Sports.

He was back at Huish Park on Tuesday for the game against Barnet sporting a new pair of crutches. It is hoped the injury isn’t too serious, but scans will be needed before a return date can be planned in.

Get well soon, Max!

As an aside, Truro City gaffer, Paul Wotton also brought on former Glovers’ trialist Stanley Anaebonam as a late substitute. He has joined the Cornish side since departing Huish Park.

Two of Yeovil Town’s loan players clocked up more valuable minutes for their temporary clubs on Saturday.

Defender Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes for Truro City in a convincing 4-0 home win over Dorchester Town.

Whilst goalkeeper Max Evans was once again in action for Larkhall Athletic.

The Larks went down 1-0 at home against Tavistock AFC with the Larkhall social media team praising Evans for his performance between the sticks.

Toby Stephens remains yet to play a competitive game for Truro, he joined at the same time as Ollie Haste, played as a trialist against Torquay, but has not figured since.

Next up, Evans’ Larks travel to Bishop’s Cleeve in the Southern League Division One South on Tuesday night, whilst Truro face Poole Town on Wednesday.

Yeovil Town have confirmed that youngsters Toby Stephens and Ollie Haste have joined Truro City on ‘short-term’ loans.

We brought you the new last week that Stephens represented Truro as a trialist in their defeat to Torquay, but Haste was also involved and will be joining Paul Wotton’s side alongside the midfielder.

Speaking to YTFC.net Chris Hargreaves said: “Toby and Ollie are both young lads we think very highly of, who need consistent minutes to improve.

“The step up from U18’s into the National League is never easy, so having a loan move with a fantastic club like Truro will help them bridge that gap and see them return as better players.”

We will do our very best to keep you updated on their progress.

All the best at Truro, lads.

 

Toby Stephens claps the Yeovil fans

Yeovil Town midfielder Toby Stephens represented Truro City as a trialist on Saturday ahead of a potential loan move.

Stephens, who was not named among the Glovers’ substitutes for the 1-0 win at Weston-super-Mare, was listed as ‘Trialist C’ for Truro in their warm up match against Gary Johnson’s Torquay United.

The young midfielder signed a contract extension at Huish Park this summer and after a couple of loan spells away last season could be in line for another temporary switch.

A picture showing Stephens in the white shirt of Truro appeared on Torquay’s Twitter feed at the final whistle.

There are obviously restrictions for us sharing imagery from PPA, who photographed the match, but if you want to see for yourself… click HERE

Truro are managed by former Yeovil Town midfielder Paul Wotton.

There have been a couple reports that he and Ollie Haste could be heading out on loan deals and this would suggest things are starting to happen in that regard.

No deals have been announced, so details like length of contract are still very much to be confirmed, but we wish Toby all the best at Truro for however long he’s there.

If a deal is confirmed, keep an eye out for Loan Watch articles here on the Gloverscast.
