Truro City star striker Harvey signs new contract

Tyler Harvey was player of the year in National League South last season

Truro City striker Tyler Harvey has signed a new contract with the newly-promoted National League side.

The 30-year-old was National League South's Player of the Year and top scorer last season as his 27 goals helped fire the Tinners to the title.

The deal, which Truro say is ‘multi-year’, will see Harvey play full-time for the club and is the third new contract he has signed in 18 months.

The former Plymouth Argyle youngster has found the net more than 150 times in over 250 games for the club since first joining in 2017.

His time with the Tinners - he had a brief spell at Bath City in 2019 - has seen him help the club secure two promotions as well as reach the first round of the FA Cup for the first time.

The news comes on the same day that fellow striker Jaze Kabia left the Cornish club to join League Two side Grimsby Town for an undisclosed fee.

"It has been a few years since I was a full-time footballer, but it was something the club had to do, once we got to the National League," Harvey told the club website.

"I've helped get the club to this division, so it is only right that I stick with it and see where we can get to.

“It is always something different at Truro, but this is something that is absolutely positive both for me as a player, and the club overall.

"I'm familiar with the routine and demands of full-time football and this will help me and everyone at the club. We will have more touches of a ball every day, we'll be fitter, stronger and that is only beneficial.

"Due to the step up in league we are taking, anything that can help us get an extra per cent here and there in games will also help us too."
