Ian Pethick Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Amidst a steady trickle of Tavistock players commiting to the club, George Newton was announced as a new signing yesterday. A forward who played for Truro City's successful reserve and under 18's last season, he seems like a very Stuart Henderson addition. CRD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavi Fan Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 We don’t give out contracts or pay wages like other clubs but we still do alright. Definitely looking as if we’ll have an even younger squad than last year but hopefully they’ll stay with the club for years to come. Up the Lambs!

I really hate this "we dont pay out wages etc comments"......most successful teams will....players know their worth and not many players will play for peanuts if they are worth more. Yes...not all players are just chasing the money.....but they aren't JUST playing for fun(and rightly so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re very lucky that the group we have have stayed loyal to the club and continue to represent us. Stu is well known for giving youngsters a chance whereas I’m not sure other clubs would?

sportsman10 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Surly the club should be looking into contracts at that level . Parkway have 2-3 on contracts also helps in keeping a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he is Step 3 standard, but with even better players around him, just might be the holding midfielder PP need.

Tavi Fan Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Announced the signing of Okehampton goalkeeper Aaron Dearing. Seems to be a solid signing and more than capable of stepping up. Pre season going ok so far I feel. A lot of youngsters have been involved which is pleasing to see. Last night against Bridgwater the average age of the squad can’t have been over 20. George Newton certainly looks to be a find, scored an absolute beauty last night. Tonight we welcome Neil Warnock and his Huddersfield side if anyone is at a loose end and fancying a game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Dearing does look a good signing, has been superb for Okey Argyle over the last few seasons. Is this the end of Josh Oak at Tavi? Know that work commitments has impacted his availability recently, but he has been another key part of the group that has been a central part of Tavistock's success story.

Tavi Fan Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Stu Henderson mentions Josh Oak in his post match interview on the clubs twitter last night. Struggled with a shoulder injury recently but hopefully not the last we’ve seen of him. Probably the best local non league goalkeeper from the last 6/7 years but even better bloke.
