Skipper Threlkeld leaves Torquay United

Oscar Threlkeld was a key part of the Torquay United squad

Torquay United captain Oscar Threlkeld has left the club by mutual consent.

The 31-year-old former Plymouth Argyle, Salford City and Bradford City defender had been placed on the transfer list following the conclusion of the season.

He played 47 times for the Gulls after joining as a free agent last summer.

He led the club to second place in National League South before the club lost out in the play-offs to Boreham Wood.

"Everyone at Torquay United would like to take this opportunity to thank Oscar for all his efforts and leadership during his time at Plainmoor, and the club wishes him all the very best for the future," read a Torquay statement.
