Sanders makes permanent Truro City move

Sam Sanders spent last season on loan at Truro City

Truro City have signed central defender Sam Sanders on a permanent basis from York City.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at the Tinners where he made 27 appearances and scored one goal.

He left the Minstermen by mutual consent on Wednesday and has agreed a two-year deal, becoming new manager John Askey's first signing.

“I had Sam at York after he came through at Nottingham Forest and he was one of the reasons we got promoted at York," Askey told the Truro City website.

“He did well for me but then I moved on and he hasn’t played as much as he would have liked at York, hence why he came to Truro.

“I am pleased to get Sam because he is the right character and he’s a good age.

"He is somebody who has got promoted from the North version of the division Truro play in so he knows what it is all about.”

Meanwhile the club has also released central defender Ed Palmer.

The club had exercised an option to extend the 32-year-old's deal by another year last month.

But he has opted to leave the club having made 41 league appearances and scored six goals last season.
