The 19-year-old centre-back - a regular for the Lions` under 21s - becomes the latest of Kevin Nugent's squad to benefit from first-team experience.

Okoli (pictured) is a graduate of the Millwall youth academy, and someone who the Lions hold in very high regards.

Sri Lankan international Dillon De Silva has also joined Torquay on a similar deal from fellow second-tier side Queens Park Rangers.

The 20-year-old, who has 12 caps for his country, came through Tottenham Hotspur’s academy, where he spent three years.

Prior to joining Tottenham, he also had unsuccessful trials at Arsenal.

He joined the youth academy of QPR in 2017 after a brief spell with then-Pitching In Isthmian League North outfit Barking.
