Trio Added to Parkway Squad

League newcomers strengthen.

Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South new boys Plymouth Parkway have signed strikers Tom Bath and Jack Crago and brought midfielder Jordan Copp back to Bolitho Park.

Bath has worn the Parkway colours twice before and hit a hat-trick on debut and another against Bodmin Town in his previous two appearances for the club.

The striker is a significant signing for Parkway, having been a target of manager Lee Hobbs for several years.

The 23-year-old moved to Dorchester Town from Southern Premier South rivals Tiverton Town in May 2019.

He joined the Yellows at the start of the 2016/17 season and chipped in with vital goals throughout the next few seasons and 13 in 2018/19.

He was also previously with Alphington and Willand Rovers.

Copp joined Southern Premier Division South club Taunton Town in June 2020 from Parkway.

He joined the Plymouth Argyle centre of excellence in 2003 and went on to stay with the Pilgrims for nine years, making his first team debut in 2011.

After a brief spell at Frome Town, he joined Truro City until signing for Weymouth in 2014.

The 27-year-old enjoyed three years with the Terras before returning to Truro in 2017 which was followed by the move to Parkway in the summer of 2019.

He made 27 appearances in the truncated 2019/20 season, scoring 7 goals as Parkway enjoyed a successful campaign.

Striker Jack Crago is a player who needs no introduction across Devon.

Having spent many years up the road with Tavistock, Crago’s statistics over recent years have been beyond impressive and Hobbs can’t wait to see him turn out in the yellow of Parkway.

The winger has been a target of Hobbs for several years but his loyalty and admiration of playing for Tavistock can only be commended, although he has also dipped his toe into playing at a higher level on a couple of occasions with Truro City and Tiverton Town before returning to the Lambs.
