Gulls sign Hamon and Threlkeld with Moxey in talks

James Hamon worked as a golf professional while being Truro City's goalkeeper

Torquay United have signed goalkeeper James Hamon and defender Oscar Threlkeld on one-year deals.

Hamon, 28, played under new Torquay boss Paul Wotton at Truro City and spent time on loan at the Gulls in 2021.

The Guernsey-born goalkeeper helped Truro win promotion to National League South last year.

Former Plymouth Argyle, Salford City and Bradford City defender Threlkeld, 30, was a free agent having been released by Morecambe last month.

He made three appearances for the Shrimps in all competitions last season and worked with Wotton when the latter was a coach at Plymouth Argyle.

The defender spent three seasons at the Pilgrims, playing 96 times before leaving in the summer of 2018 to join Belgian side Beveren - he returned to the club on loan six months later and played a further 12 times.

Dean Moxey's professional career spans more than 21 years

Meanwhile, Torquay United are in talks with veteran Dean Moxey over a new contract.

The 38-year-old has been at the Gulls since the summer of 2020 after he left Exeter City and has played well over 100 times for the club.

The former Derby County, Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace defender has played in the top six tiers of English football.

Torquay are also in talks with Brad Ash and Ollie Tomlinson over new deals.

The club signed Jay Foulston on Monday and have agreed new terms with Finley Craske.

But the vast majority of the squad that finished the season in 18th place in National League South are leaving the club.

Among the 14 players going are striker Aaron Jarvis and midfielders Asa Hall and Tom Lapslie.

The club have finally be able to unveil their retained list after being taken over by new owners in May.
