After making a number of appearances for the Royals’ under-21 and under-23 sides, Medford-Smith scored his first goal in senior football in the club’s remarkable 7-5 Checkatrade Trophy defeat to Gillingham in November 2017.

Medford-Smith also gained further experience with a spell on loan at National League South Wealdstone last season.

Manager Gary Johnson was delighted to secure the signing of the talented left-back, and paid tribute to the hard work that has been going on behind the scenes to enable the move to take place.

He told https://torquayunited.com: “We felt we had to act quickly due to Liam Davis’ injury.

“He’s 21, we’ve seen him a lot, know his game and we know him. We’ve watched him develop over the years at QPR and then at Reading, and it’s due to our work that goes on throughout the year in identifying players and following them, that we were able to get Ramarni in very quickly”.
