Torquay United AFC is delighted to announce the loan signing of Ricky Aguiar from Swindon Town.
The attacking midfielder joins up with Gary Johnson’s squad having made thirteen appearances in all competitions for the League Two promotion-chasers already this season, after initially joining the Club from National League South side Chippenham Town in the summer of 2021.
Such has been Ricky’s progress at the County Ground, the 21 year-old signed an extended deal last summer, and the highly-rated schemer will now looking forward to gaining further first-team experience with The Gulls at National League level.
“I’m very happy that Ricky has agreed to join us,” said the Gaffer on his latest recruit.
“He will be a great addition to our squad. We’ve had him on our radar for some time, and we’ve taken this opportunity to bring him in, as on this occasion it’s the right player, at the right place, at the right time.
“Ricky’s got the ability to score goals, with a good touch and a good football brain, and will be very important to our cause.”
One player moving in the opposite direction out of Torquay is Mark Ellis, who has now returned to parent club Barrow following the completion of his temporary return to the English Riviera.
“We thank Mark Ellis for his services with us in the last couple of months. Unfortunately Mark pulled his hamstring against Yeovil on Boxing Day, which in fact became the end of his loan. We did ask if he would like to stay longer, but being a family man up north, he decided he would not be able to carry on any longer.
“I know he enjoyed his stay here, and we wish him all the best for the future.”
