Truro City sign free-agent striker Pyke

Rekeil Pyke had two loan spells with Wrexham earlier in his career when the Welsh side where in the National League

Truro City have signed former Grimsby Town striker Rekeil Pyke on a one-year deal.

The 27-year-old former Shrewsbury Town striker left the Mariners after two seasons earlier this summer.

He played twice for Eastleigh in the National League during a short loan spell last winter and Truro also have the option to extend Pike's deal by a further 12 months.

Pyke scored four goals in 32 League Two appearances for Grimsby having spent three years with League One side Shrewsbury.

He is the second experienced addition to Truro's forward line this summer after Luke Jephcott turned his loan into a permanent deal, while Dominic Johnson-Fisher and captain Tyler Harvey signed new deals.

"I spoke to the manager and it is an exciting time to join the club and I can't wait to get going," Pyke told the club website.

"I have played at this level for Wrexham, whilst also playing in League One and Two, so hopefully I can bring my experience to Truro, so we can go on a good run.

"As a team, we will be giving everything to try and achieve something similar to last season. That is the goal for me in every season I play.

"There is a good togetherness within the group and I am happy to be joining a dressing room like this."
