Torquay United: No money for January transfers, says manager

Torquay United are unlikely to sign any players in January, according to manager Chris Hargreaves.

The Gulls have released winger Niall Thompson after he came to the end of his six-month contract at Plainmoor.

Hargreaves has brought in former Plymouth Argyle defender Durrell Berry and ex-Walsall midfielder James McQuilkin on non-contract terms.

"I don't see us moving in any way to get any players. There's simply no money," said Hargreaves.

He told BBC Radio Devon: "The only possibility is players moving out on loan or if they would like to play for another club.

And Hargreaves feels his squad, who have not won back-to-back games in the Conference since a six-game winning run in September, have the talent within their squad to challenge at the top of the table.

"This season we've proved that we're good enough many times and we'll prove it again," he continued.

"The players have got to find it in themselves to react in the right way, I still back them, I believe in them, so it's got to be from within this squad."
