Torquay bring in defender Jean-Yves Koue Niate

By Adele Matthews
National League club Torquay United have signed former Guiseley AFC defender Jean-Yves Koue Niate.
The 25 year-old Frenchman had spells playing in both Belgium and France, before arriving in England in 2016.
Since his arrival, he’s had spells at Solihull Moors, Oxford City, Ebbsfleet United and most recently Guiseley.
Head coach at Torquay United, Gary Owers, told their official website: “He’s a big, imposing character. He’s 6 foot 4, muscular and athletic, as well having experience playing in the National League and National League South.
“I’m bringing him in to hopefully be a focal point of our defence.”
The boss is still on the look-out for fresh faces to add to his squad, he said: “I think we definitely need another midfield player and looking at the front part of the team, maybe another attacking player. Still maybe three or four players yet to add and I’m working very hard on that at the minute.”
