FIRST TEAM SQUAD
AT TIVERTON TOWN FC
Javan Wright
The 25-year-old attacker and former Torquay United player was one of Town manager Leigh Robinson’s first signings last season, making the switch from Southern League Division One South Bideford, where he played alongside Leighs assistant Ben Gerring, in November.
He had been with the Robins since 2020, having previously played for Barnstaple, and went on to make 25 appearance for the Yellows, scoring four goals, as he grew into the campaign.

Joe Parker
Joe, 29, came to Ladysmead on a permanent deal just a few weeks after his previous loan spell from the Tigers came to an end. The former Newport County forward scored 11 times in 15 games at the end of a campaign that saw the Yellows retain their Southern League Premier Division South status.
A product of Hartpury College, Joe immediately endeared himself to the Tivvy faithful with two goals on his debut in a 4-2 home victory over Poole Town in late January and the relationship between pitch and terrace grew stronger as the season progressed. Vital strikes followed at Swindon Supermarine and in home matches against Hanwell Town, Merthyr Town and Winchester City as the Yellows built up a healthy amount of points around his goals.

Tor Swann
Tor, 20, was a youngster at both Exeter City and Torquay United before bouncing between
Barnstaple Town and Buckland Athletic. The Hertfordshire-born player was with the Grecians Academy as a young teenager before spending two seasons at Torquay. He joined Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South Barnstaple Town ahead of the 2021-22 season but, concerned about uncertainties at the North Devon club, moved to Toolstation Western League Buckland Athletic after just a few weeks.
He played regularly for Newton Abbot-based Athletic during the remainder of 2021-22. Last season, he was joint second-top scorer for Barum in the Toolstation Western League, with 17 goals.

Theo Jeremy
Dominican youth international Theo Jeremy arrived at Ladysmead in the summer following his rapid progress through Keynsham Town’s admired player pathway scheme.
That culminated in a first season in senior football in 2023-24 for the Toolstation Western League Division One side, as well as a trial with Bristol City, the former side of Keynsham coach Marvin Brown.
Theo played for the Robins’ Under-21’s side against Colchester United in December 2023 when he enjoyed a productive afternoon including setting up Marlee Francois up for the opening goal in 4-2 City win and showing plenty of adventure and willingness to attack. He has also come on to the radar of Tivvy’s fellow Devonians, Sky Bet Championship side Plymouth Argyle, and Premier League Aston Villa.

Kai Churchley
Bristol City youngster Kai Churchley is another young loanee at Ladysmead. He was born, and grew up in Cheltenham and played for Cheltenham Town at youth level before joining City at Under-16 level from Bishop’s Cleeve.
A right-footed central attacking midfielder, he signed a two year professional contract at Ashton Gate in March last year, and has been part of the successful Under-21s team the Professional Development League Two.
