Southend midfielder heads to Plainmoor
Torquay United’s midfield options have been strengthened, with Southend winger Jack Wood agreeing an initial 28-day loan deal with Paul Wotton’s side.
After Wood joined The Shrimpers from Kings Langley in early 2022, a productive loan stint in 2022/23 with Tonbridge Angels saw him make 22 appearances, scoring 8 goals.
Following his return to Roots Hall, 22 year-old Jack has become a regular member of the Southend matchday squad, making 30 appearances and scoring three goals in the fifth tier last season, before adding another ten from the bench this term.
Having arrived in time to be considered for Saturday’s home clash with National League South promotion rivals Farnborough, United’s latest arrival will no doubt be looking to make an instant impression with the Yellow Army.
Welcome to Plainmoor, Jack!
