Truro City sign midfielders Kite and Hasani

Harry Kite has played almost 80 games in Leagues One and Two

Truro City have signed midfielders Harry Kite and Lirak Hasani on free transfers.

Former Exeter City and Yeovil Town midfielder Kite, 24, has agreed a two-year deal with the newly promoted National League side.

Hasani, 23, has also penned a contract having left Torquay United at the end of last season.

Kite played 101 games for Exeter, for whom he came up through their academy, before leaving at the end of last season.

His time at the club was affected by injury - he suffered a serious knee injury in 2022 before missing the first half of last season with a hamstring problem.

He returned to action in March after joining Yeovil Town and played seven games in the National League for the Glovers - who will be Truro's nearest rivals this season.

"I think it's a great time to come to Truro. I think it's a great place for me to continue playing my football," Kite told the club website.

"I felt it was a project that I really wanted to get involved in, and I'm really glad to be here.

"I know a couple of the boys that are here. I've played with one or two of them before and played against them as well, so I'm hoping that should make it easy for me to gel and bed in with the group.

"I'm still quite young in terms of my footballing journey, but I'm hoping that with the strides and what I've done in my career to date, I can possibly pass a little bit of that knowledge across if the players need it."

Lirak Hasani helped Torquay United reach the semi-finals of last season's National League South play-offs

Hasani was part of the Gulls side that pushed Truro all the way in last season's National League South title race as Torquay missed out on top spot on goal difference.

The former Gateshead and Doncaster Rovers midfielder scored twice in 35 games for Torquay last season and he and Kite become the first new additions to John Askey's squad ahead of the club's first-ever season in the fifth tier.

"I think it's the next best step for me in my career," Hasani told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"Torquay had three games against Truro last season, I think in every single one there was barely anything to separate the teams.

"I learnt Truro is a well-drilled team, tough to beat, always in the game and they impressed me.

"I spent two seasons at Gateshead, so I've played a fair few teams in the National League, and I'd like to think I've had the experience of playing these bigger teams, so it won't be anything too strange for me going back up into the National League next season."
