Former Plymouth Argyle trio among five players leaving Plymouth Parkway

The ambitious Western League club have also announced three new signings

Ambitious Plymouth Parkway have announced six new signings, including two proven goalscorers, and confirmed the departure of five members of their 2019/20 squad.

Those moving on include former Plymouth Argyle Aaron Bentley, Jack Calver and Jordan Copp, who all started their careers in the youth set-up at Home Park.

Craig Duff and prolific marksman Adam Carter are also leaving the Western League Premier Division club.

Carter, 34, was Parkway’s top scorer in the cancelled 2019/20 season, with 32 goals from 27 games.

Parkway have confirmed the signing of Tiverton Town pair of Steve Colwell and Mike Landricombe, Taunton Town captain and striker Matt Wright, Saltash United forward Ryan Richards, Callum Hall from Willand Rovers and Truro City's Harrison Davis.

A tweet posted by Parkway read: "Today we can confirm that Aaron Bentley, Jordan Copp, Craig Duff, Jack Calver and Adam Carter will leave the club.

"We wish them all well for the next stage of their footballing journey. Thank you lads."

Parkway were battling with Tavistock for the Premier Division title until their campaign was halted by the coronavirus pandemic towards the end of March.

The side managed by Lee Hobbs also reached the FA Vase quarter-finals, before losing away to Hebburn Town.

Parkway have also announced their end-of-season award winners, although no presentations were able to take place due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Experienced defender Rob Farkins was the choice of Hobbs as the managers’ player-of-the-year.

Hobbs told Parkway’s website: Rob Farkins epitomises everything I demand in all my players, honesty, a big heart, desire, and a huge work ethic.

“He is always available and has a winning mentality and losing simply isn’t an option.

“He’s been different class for myself and the football club in the two-and-a-half-years he’s been at PPFC and we have all loved his no-nonsense style of play as much as he himself, has loved it as a Parkway player.

“He will be here for many more years to come I’m sure and am certain this won’t be his last individual trophy he will win in his time at Bolitho”

Left-back Ryan Lane was the players’ choice of player-of-the-year while the supporters’ award went to goalkeeper Kyle Moore.
