Joe looks at more players who could join Torquay this summer

JAMES HAMON

An obvious option as the number one would be former Gull James Hamon. Hamon spent half a season at Plainmoor in the 20/21 season, covering injuries to Covolan and made a 10 minute cameo at Solihull Moors when Shaun Macdonald was given his marching orders for a professional foul. Hamon has spent the last 5 years playing under Wotton so is obviously trusted by the new gaffer, he’s out of contract so wouldn’t cost a fee to bring him to Plainmoor.

HAMON STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 01/07/95, POSITION: GOALKEEPER, BIRTHPLACE: GUERNSEY

MATT WONNACOTT

A potential affordable number two option may be former youth academy goalkeeper Wonnacott. After leaving for Wigan at the age of 16 Wonnacott has been unable to progress through to the first team and so potentially will be returning to the Bay. This could be a low cost option for a keeper on the bench with potential to improve still at the age of 19.

WONNACOTT STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 31/08/04, POSITION: GOALKEEPER, BIRTHPLACE: ENGLAND

JAY FOULSTON

The ex Taunton man moved to Yeovil last season on a loan with a view to permanent deal. It’s rumoured that Yeovil have decided against signing him permanently after their promotion and therefore he’s available on a free. Most Yeovil fans were hoping to sign the attacking full back this summer so this would be a major coup for Wotton’s new look United side.

FOULSTON STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 27/11/00, POSITION: LEFT BACK, BIRTHPLACE: SWANSEA

CODY COOKE

Following the theme of south west based part time footballers, Cody Cooke would make sense as well, the number 10 scored 18 in 44 for Bath last season and although he left Truro just as Wotton took charge, he is based in Devon so may be another on Wotton’s shopping list.

COOKE STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 02/03/93, POSITION: STRIKER, BIRTHPLACE: TRURO

CAM HARGREAVES

Another Devon based footballer, and son of former captain and manager Chris Hargreaves. The Central midfielder came through the academy at Bristol Rovers and impressed at Plainmoor for Hungerford town the day we lifted the NLS Trophy. Hargreaves spent last year at Kings Lynn Town in the National League North scoring 4 times in 39 appearances. He’d surely love to follow in his dad’s footsteps at Plainmoor!

HARGREAVES STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 01/12/98, POSITION: CENTRAL MIDFIELD, BIRTHPLACE: PLYMOUTH

HARVEY GREENSLADE

Another striker, who Wotton has had on loan twice at Truro, so he obviously rates the youngster. He’s been released by Bristol Rovers this summer, so Wotton may want to bring him down to Plainmoor on a permanent deal.

GREENSLADE STATS – DATE OF BIRTH: 20/04/04, POSITION: STRIKER, BIRTHPLACE: BRISTOL
