Torquay United manager Paul Wotton says Plymouth Argyle loanee Will Jenkins Davies is one of the most dedicated players he has worked with.

The 20-year-old, who has scored four goals in his last three league appearances for Wotton's side, has extended his time at Plainmoor until the end of the season.

It is his second spell at Torquay after his time at the club last season was curtailed by injury.

"His desire and his work rate is as good as I've ever seen," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"Getting him off the training ground's a hardship, he wants to stay out there all the time.

"He's an infectious character as well and he's hit a bit of form at the minute.

"He's got everything - he can to have a career in football at whatever level."

Jenkins Davies has scored four goals and provided four assists in his 19-games for Torquay this season, helping them rise to the top of National League South.

It is form that has not gone unnoticed by Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney:

"He's someone who I really liked in pre-season from an attitude point of view," the Argyle boss said.

"He'd been out on loan before so we felt it was better for him to go out on loan and get another experience and I think he's doing really well.

"He's scored a few goals, a few assists, so I think it was a way for him to continue to play for the rest of the season and gain that experience and hopefully come back stronger."
