MJ is back in the Bay!
Torquay United is delighted to announce the signing of Matt Jay, following the forward’s departure from League Two side Colchester United.
Torbay-born Matt, 28, arrives at Plainmoor with a wealth of experience in the EFL, having spent a decade in Devon at neighbours Exeter City, during which time he skippered his side to promotion to League One in 2021/22, before moving on to Colchester for an undisclosed fee the following season.
After tracking is progress for a number of months, Gulls boss Paul Wotton is understandably pleased to secure the signing of Jay, who has agreed a long-term deal with the Club until the summer of 2027.
“MJ is someone who I’ve known about for years,” said Wotton.
“He brings a wealth of experience, and he has captained a League Two promotion-winning side. He’s obviously got tremendous qualities as a football player, and he adds huge value and experience to the squad.
“He’s a forward, we needed to sign some, and I can’t wait to get working with him.
“It’s been quite a long process, but we’ve finally got there, and I’m looking forward to seeing him playing in a Torquay shirt.”
Watch out for Manny’s first interview coming soon.
Welcome back to the Bay, Matt!
