Fabian Speiss: Torquay United sign former Notts County keeper

Fabian Spiess played three times for Bristol Rovers in the Conference last season

Torquay United have signed former Notts County goalkeeper Fabian Speiss.

The 21-year-old German, who has also spent time on loan at Bristol Rovers, has been on trial at the Gulls this summer after being released by County.

"Fabian is a goalkeeper that I have watched for two-and-a-half years," said Torquay boss Paul Cox.

"We've been working one-on-one with him and he's gone from strength-to-strength since he's been here," Cox told the club website.

Speiss will battle with highly-rated teenager Dan Lavercombe to start in goal for Torquay this season.

"It means that we now have two top-class young goalkeepers both vying for a starting place and that is a great position to be in. I am delighted to have him on board," Cox added.
