Argyle Women and Torquay United Women have come together and agreed a partnership between the two sides for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
The agreement between the two South West clubs will ensure a designated pathway for players in the area, supported by both sides, to bring through the best emerging talent and give them an opportunity to create a career in women’s football.
Shared commercial opportunities and best practice across all areas will allow both brands to work together and provide a bigger platform on making the sport sustainable in the South West.
Argyle will feature in Tier Three this season, in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division, whilst Torquay United will feature in Regen Arable South West Regional Women’s Football League Premier Division, the fifth tier, after a second-place finish last season.
Christian Kent, Executive Lead for Women’s Football at Argyle, said: “This partnership will ensure opportunities arise for players across our pathway to develop, and open new areas of revenue growth for both clubs in Women’s football. Our goal to be a sustainable women’s club is one we take seriously and working closely with colleagues at Torquay we feel we will be able to support each other in reaching our shared objectives’
Rob Hawes, TUWFC Chairman, said: “This partnership is a gateway for Torquay United’s Women to progress whilst supporting the wider community. Our vision is to see the best talent in the region come through the ranks and give them the opportunity to play competitive football at various levels which this partnership provides. I am delighted to be working in unison with Christian and his team at Plymouth Argyle. This is a really positive step as we build solid foundations for today and the future.’
