Martyn Grimshaw Grimmers Assistant Manager

Grimmers makes a welcome return to Tiverton for the 2007-08 season having left four years ago to take up the vacant managerial post at historical rivals Mangotsfield United. During his playing career he excelled as a striker at Yeovil Town and also spent time at Bath City and Weymouth, but it was at Tiverton where he really enjoyed his best form. Indeed, he currently stands as the last player to score five goals in a match for the Yellows, a feat he achieved in a 7-1 drubbing of Frome Town in February 1996.. In his first spell as Assistant manager at Tivvy he helped guide the club to successive FA Vase triumphs, and will be eager to help Town to further success.

Mike Booth   Midfielder

A highly rated 25 year-old who won Taunton Town’s Young Player of the Year before joining Tivvy in 2005.  Previously with Dawlish Town, he is at home in midfield or as a wingback, and has covered in the heart of the defence on occasions. Played most of last season on the right flank but moved into a midfield anchor role towards the end of the campaign and gave great coverage for the defensive line. Mike scooped four awards at the end of last season, including the coveted Players’’ Player of the Year gong, but suffered a knee cartilage injury during the pre-season schedule which is likely to keep him out of action for the majority of the season.

Phil Walsh   Forward
Phil joined Tiverton for a second loan spell in the middle of February, having previously spent a month at Ladysmead in December 2006 where he proved a success by bagging three goals in four matches. Currently on the books at Bath City he has seen himself fall down the pecking order due to more established players returning from injury, and was happy to link up again with Tiverton in order to retain match fitness in the hope of breaking back into the first team at Twerton Park

Paul Wyatt   Forward

Young goalscorer who has been showing impressive form with the Tiverton Town Youth team, and his displays have earned him a call-up to the main team. Scored his first goal for the senior team in January 2007 against Clyst Rovers in the Devon St. Luke’s Bowl, and is looking good to secure a regular place in the first team squad having committed himself to the Club towards the end of July. Paul is capable of playing either in the forward line or on either flank, and has pace to burn.

Chris Young   Forward

Summer signing from Bridgwater Town, Young usually plays as a support striker although he has a good knack of hitting the target so can also be employed as the focal point of the attack. Young scored over 100 goals for Bridgwater, including reaching double figures last term despite playing only half a season of football due to studying commitments.

Matt Villis   Defender

A summer signing from Torquay United, Matt is a strong and mobile 23 year old central defender who  began his career at Bridgwater Town and then moved on to the Youth setup at Plymouth Argyle before a successful loan spell at Torquay United earned him a full time contract with the Plainmoor outfit. Despite being a regular fixture in the team in the second half of the season he was released following the Gulls’ relegation from the football league, and Tiverton were quick to snap him up, with interest being shown by a number of other local clubs.

Will Gardner   Midfielder

A versatile defensive player, Gardner was not offered a professional contract at Bristol City despite having impressed in the Youth and Reserve sides at Ashton Gate, and was given a trial at Tiverton where he did enough to convince manager Martyn Rogers to offer him a season long deal. Smart on the ball and strong in the challenge, the 18 year old has all the attributes to succeed in the game.
