Worthing Signs Prolific Forward Jordan Young from Torquay United

Worthing have moved to sharpen their promotion push with the capture of prolific forward Jordan Young from Torquay United for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old arrives with a serious record at National League South level. Since joining Torquay from Yeovil Town in October 2024, Young has hit 35 goals in 88 appearances, a return that made him one of the division’s most dangerous attacking threats.

Manager's Remarks

Adam Hinshelwood has been searching for extra edge in the final third, and he believes he has found it. Speaking to the club’s website, the Worthing manager highlighted Young’s ability to change games with a single touch, praising his dead-ball quality and his knack for both scoring and creating goals “from out of nowhere”.

Set pieces, tight matches, late moments – that is where Young has built his reputation. Worthing are betting that those same qualities can tilt the fine margins in their favour over the coming months.

Transfer Details

Torquay, meanwhile, have protected their longer-term interests. The Devon club confirmed that the agreement between the sides includes a clause that gives United a “significant financial interest” in any future transfer involving Young.

For Worthing, it is a statement signing. For Torquay, it is a calculated sale with an eye on the next move. How decisive it proves in the balance of the season will be watched closely across the division.
