Jake Gosling has signed for National League side Torquay United after leaving Bristol Rovers.
The Gibraltar international was one of many players deemed surplus to requirements by Darrell Clarke at the end of the season, but the winger has been snapped up by the Devon side ahead of next campaign.
The length of the deal has not been disclosed but United player-boss Kevin Nicholson has reflected on the signing of the 23-year-old.
“I’m delighted to get Jake signed and sorted,” said Nicholson.
“He is a very talented player who has experienced a bit of a plateau in his career and he’s desperate to show what he is about. It is those kinds of players that thrive in our environment, and if we can get the best out of him then we will be in a good place and so will he.
“He has work to do, and the onus will be in him to keep pushing his limits to improve and get back to the level he should be playing at.
“I am really looking forward to getting him on the training ground and seeing him at work.”
Gosling made 48 appearances for Rovers and netted three times in three years at the club.
He fell out of favour this season and had loan spells with Cambridge United and Forest Green. The previous campaign (15/16), Gosling spent time at Newport County as well as featuring for Rovers.
Gosling was twice promoted with Rovers after joining the club when they dropped into the Conference for the 14/15 season.
