WEYMOUTH have announced the signings of Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Josef Yarney prior to the FA Cup clash at Yeovil Town.
Powerful striker Taylor-Crossdale has impressive experience at Chelsea and England youth level, while defender Yarney is a former Everton and Newcastle man.
Speaking to Echosport on Taylor-Crossdale, Terras' boss Brian Stock highlighted the forward's quality background.
He said: “He was at Chelsea all the way through the 23s and then went to Fulham.
“He’s played England Under-16s, 17s, 18s, 19s and 20s.
“Although he’s got to prove himself again, he’s done that at a younger age and he’s looking to play games.
Martell joins us following his release from Fulham in the summer. The prolific striker was a product of the Chelsea Academy. Martell has also represented England from u15-u20 level. (2/4) pic.twitter.com/Vhtu6DW5i8
