Torquay United boss Paul Wotton says he has been impressed with young striker Jadyn Crosbie.

The 20-year-old joined the Gulls from ninth-tier side Mangotsfield United on a two-year deal in June.

He scored in Torquay’s final pre-season friendly on Saturday as the Gulls won 3-0 at Tiverton Town.

“I was thrilled for Jadyn and we love him at the club, that’s why we’ve got him on a two-year deal,” Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

“He was unfortunate at the start of pre-season – he rolled his ankle and got injured and missed a couple of weeks, which is difficult for him because he’s adjusting to full-time training, he’s living away from home for the first time and he is only young.

“But he’s come back, he’s trained great, he learns quick, I love him to bits and I’m thrilled he scored.

“I don’t care what level he’s done it at, he scores goals and he’s a pleasure to coach.”
