A strong and mobile 24 year old central defender who started out in the Youth setup at Plymouth Argyle before a successful loan spell at Torquay United earned him a full time contract with the Plainmoor outfit.

Pugh moved to Ladysmead from Dawlish Town this summer after shining when the two sides met in the Devon Cup last season. At 6’6” he wins almost everything in the air, and has great ability on the floor as he proved when scoring his first goal for the club in the pre-season game at Buckland Athletic.

Gould forced his way into the first team squad at the beginning of last season after some emphatic displays for the Under 18’s side and grabbed his first senior goal at Rugby Town last October.

A former Youth player at Plymouth Argyle Hopkinson arrived at Tiverton towards the end of last season and proved an instant hit. His low centre of gravity and strong presence have made him a firm favourite with the supporters, while his passing range and ability with the ball at his feet is often at the centre of much of Tiverton’s attacking play. An assured delivery from set pieces and a powerful shot make him a crucial part of the Tivvy team.

Prolific striker that returned to Ladysmead in January after spells with Dawlish Town and Dorchester Town. As a 17 year old Jamie made an immediate impact at Ladysmead when he scored four times on his debut in 2001, and he went on to net 113 goals in five seasons. In the wake of a troublesome back injury he moved to Dawlish where he was their top goalscorer last season, and then joined Dorchester in the summer, again leading the scoring charts, but financial cutbacks meant that he was allowed to leave the Dorset club.
