TORQUAY UNITED boss Kevin Nicholson has signed strikers Kieffer Moore and Shawn McCoulsky on loan as he tries to turn the club’s fortunes around.
Nicholson was left “disgusted” by his side’s display last Saturday as they went down 2-0 at Guiseley, a result that left them two points and two places above the relegation zone.
The Gulls have lost their last three National League games and the boss said he was desperately searching for reinforcements.
And he has been boosted by the news that Forest Green forward Moore and Bristol City’s McCoulsky have both agreed to join on loan.
Giant striker Moore, who stands at 6ft 5ins, has scored four times for the National League leaders this term and arrives at Plainmoor after making his England C debut in Estonia.
McCoulsky, meanwhile, is a highly-rated 19-year-old forward who made his Bristol City debut in their EFL Cup defeat by Hull City in October.
Moore has arrived on an initial 28-day loan while McCoulsky has signed until mid-January as Torquay try to climb back up the National League table.
“Kieffer’s proven at this level and higher, he’s a very hard-working guy and the chance for him to come here, play some football and push some of our lads was something that he wanted to do,”boss Nicholson told BBC Sport.
“Shawn is a young boy with bags of pace and bags of energy, he’s been knocking on their first-team door for a little while.
“The boys that are here already need to see this as a challenge now.
“They’ve had my backing the whole time I’ve been here and I will do everything in my power to help them improve as people and players and help us get the results we should be getting.”
