Truro City seal permanent deal for defender Bell

Zac Bell has become a key part of Truro City's defence since joining the club on loan

Truro City have signed Maidenhead United defender Zac Bell on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old has been on loan at the National League South high-fliers since January.

He has gone on to play 14 times for the Cornish club, who are a point off the top of the sixth tier.

The length of the former Wales youth international's deal has not been disclosed.

"I spoke to Zac when he left Bristol City, but he went to Maidenhead, because he wanted to play the best level he could," Truro manager John Askey said.

"So when he became available again, we jumped at the chance to get him in.

"He's done well since joining Truro, like the team has recently, so when we had the chance to sign him on a full-time basis, it was a no-brainer really.

"He is the right age and hopefully he will only get better, so we are really pleased to get him onboard."
