Toby Ajala: Gateshead sign former Torquay United winger

Toby Ajala's former clubs include AFC Wimbledon, Cheltenham Town and Welling

Gateshead have signed winger Toby Ajala after he rejected a new deal at fellow National League club Torquay United.

The 24-year-old former Bristol City trainee, who only re-joined Torquay on a short-term contract in January, has signed a one-year deal with Gateshead.

He made 49 league starts over two separate spells with the Gulls, either side of a four-month spell at Dover.

"I'm happy to be moving north. I wanted to move on and enjoy my football again," Ajala told the club website.
