Harrison Davis joins up for the start of 2022/23.
The
22-year-old local lad Davis was a product of the Torquay United academy before
he was snapped up by Premier League side Southampton.
A
combative, ball-playing midfielder, he initially joined Southern Premier South
side Tiverton Town on a three-month loan in August 2018 but that was extended,
and, in the end, he made 40 appearances for the Yellows and scored 2 goals.
He
signed for Tiverton`s league rivals Truro City towards the end of July 2019 and
then joined ambitious Plymouth Parkway in May 2020.
Saltash
manager Danny Lewis told https://saltashunited.co.uk: “I’ve known
Harrison as a person his whole life and I’ve watched his career develop from
youth football all the way to the current date.
“Again,
we have identified him as he brings something which we think we have lacked in
the past and that is the ability to unlock a defence in the tight games and
with his athleticism and creativity we believe we have now that with this
signing.
“H
is a player that can play in a number of positions and Shane Krac and I are
delighted that, despite offers elsewhere, he has chosen to sign for the Ashes.”
Experienced
striker Adam Carter (pictured) has also joined Saltash after leaving Plymouth Parkway.
The
35-year-old holds the record for the all-time top scorer in the South West
Peninsula League and has won the league’s `golden boot` award three times
consecutively between 2011 and 2013.
Having
also played for Bodmin Town and Bitton, Carter was most recently a part of the
Parkway side who gained promotion to the Southern League Premier last season.
Also
moving to Saltash is midfielder Jake Miller and central defender Callum
O’Brien.
Miller,
24, is very well known and respected in local football circles having played
for St Blazey, AFC St Austell, Bodmin Town, Bideford AFC and most recently as
part of the Tavistock squad who gained promotion from the Western League.
He
has recently opened his own gym and has spent some time away from football to
set up his business but is now ready to commit himself to the game once again
and the Ashes management are now challenging him to playing him further the
field of play.
O’Brien
has returned to the club after almost a season away.
The
28-year-old had been a regular starter for the Ashes before his move to
Torpoint Athletic at the beginning of the 2021/22 season and had played a
pivotal role in the heart of defence for many seasons which earned the Ashes
promotion to the Western League.
Neil
Warnock’s favourite Saltash United player has become a popular amongst the
Ashes faithful with his strong tackle and ability to win aerial challenges all
over the pitch as well as stick the ball in the back of the net himself.
His
work rate, desire and great left foot need no introduction to anyone who has
watched him play.
