DORCHESTER Town have moved to acquire the services of striker Toby Holmes.

Holmes, who was dual registered with Parley Sports and Poole Town, joins the Magpies on non-contract terms.

The forward scored against Dorchester for Poole in the Red Insure Cup earlier this season.

“Toby impressed us when we played Poole,” said county town boss Mark Jermyn.

“He has got a lot of energy and has scored quite a few goals.”

The swoop for Holmes comes as a response to the departure of Jonah Ayunga to Brighton earlier this week.
