What happened: Torquay United have signed striker Deon Moore to a two-year contract, tying down the forward who arrived on a short-term deal late last season. The 27-year-old Guyana international was manager Jimmy Ball's first signing after taking charge, brought in from Maidstone United. Moore made an immediate impact, scoring eight goals in 10 appearances for the National League South club.

Why it matters: Moore's goals helped push Torquay to a third-place finish and a deep play-off run, making his retention a priority for a side chasing promotion. Locking in a proven scorer on a multi-year term gives Ball a settled attacking focal point rather than another short-term gamble. It also continues an offseason of the Gulls securing their key contributors, following the earlier move to re-sign striker Cody Cooke.

What to watch: Attention turns to whether Torquay can build a promotion-ready squad around Moore for the upcoming National League South campaign.
