Torquay United are pleased to confirm the signing of Plymouth Argyle striker Joe Hatch on a one-month loan deal.
With Paul Wotton’s side heading into Saturday’s trip to Enfield without suspended joint-top scorers Louis Dennis and Jordan Young, Hatch arrives at Plainmoor to strengthen the Gulls’ attacking options.
The Torquay United Supporters’ Trust have agreed to sponsor Hatch for the duration of his loan spell, helping cover the club’s wage contribution for Hatch for the period.
TUST chairman Nick Brodrick said: “We are delighted to welcome Joe to Plainmoor and to play our little part as his sponsor during what we hope will be a successful spell.”
The 19-year-old arrives with a growing reputation as one of the most exciting prospects at Home Park. A Wales Under-17 international, Hatch has progressed through the ranks at Plymouth, making seven first-team appearances for the Pilgrims, and gaining further senior experience during a loan stint at Southern League side Taunton Town earlier this season.
This move is subject to FA & National League approval.
Elsewhere, Gulls striker Jadyn Crosbie has had his loan spell at Dorchester Town extended for a further month. Crosbie has enjoyed a productive spell with the Southern League outfit, and scored The Magpies’ goal in their last match at Havant & Waterlooville.
