The
23-year-old previously played for Plymouth Argyle, St Austell and Plymouth
Parkway.
The
midfielder joined Bideford in June 2020.
This
season, he has made a couple of substitute appearances for Mousehole as a
dual-signed player, most notably in the away league win at Saltash United in
early October, where he immediately imposed his authority in his preferred
midfield role and scored a stunning long-range goal to help secure a 3-1 win
for the Seagulls.
Mousehole’s
manager Jake Ash was delighted to be able to bring the talented player to
Trungle Parc on a permanent deal, telling his club`s website: “I first spoke to
Jack at the end of the aborted 2019/20 season and then again at the end of last
season, as he is a player I have really liked since I saw him playing for St
Austell. Even back then he stood out as someone who could play at a higher
standard and possessed so many tools to admire. I’ve personally been to watch
him a few times in the last 12 months and each time it has cemented my opinion
that he has everything we look for in a player at this club.”
“At
just 23 I think he has so much room to still improve – training regularly,
coupled with playing in a more central position than he has been, will kick him
on even further, especially as he gets fitter and sharper. I can’t wait to work
with Jack to support and witness the next part of his journey, as I think
everything is in place at this club to really help him flourish.”
Mousehole’s
new signing comes shortly after the arrival of striker Andy Watkins (pictured) on a dual-registration
basis as he regains match fitness following an injury sustained at parent club,
Southern Premier Division South outfit Tiverton Town.
The
experienced 36-year-old Cornwall-born striker began his career with Bideford
before joining Truro City in July 2006.
During
his first season at Treyew Road the club lifted the Western League Division One
title and won the FA Vase beating AFC Totton 3–1 in the final, held at the new
Wembley Stadium.
This
began five years of almost uninterrupted success for the club, climbing up
through the leagues to the Conference South, with his goals playing a major
part in this rise.
Even
when it all began to unravel for the White Tigers, he remained loyal to the
club, playing just a single game for Bideford when it looked like Truro had
gone out of business, and he was named player of the year.
In
total he scored 143 goals in 295 games for Truro. Bath had made an offer for
his services in January 2013 and, following Truro’s relegation in April, he
signed for the National League South club in June 2013, moving to Tiverton in
the summer of 2020. |
