Ebbsfleet striker Tyrone Marsh has left the club to sign for Torquay United.

Marsh joins the Vanarama National League club on a one-year deal, having failed to find the net in 14 appearances for the Fleet.

Having started the season as an Oxford United player on loan at Welling, Marsh followed Jamie Day to Stonebridge Road when he was appointed Ebbsfleet manager.

When his loan spell with the Wings finished, Marsh left Oxford to pen an 18-month deal at Fleet.

But he was in and out of the side as Day made sweeping changes to his squad which included the arrival of fellow strikers Danny Kedwell and Adam Cunnington.

Marsh would also have been in competition with Matt Godden and Charlie Sheringham next season and he will now try his luck back in the top tier of non-league football.

Torquay manager Paul Cox told the club's website: "We’ve brought a player to the football club who is an immense raw talent. I’ve watched him a number of times and watched him evolve as a young player.

“He scored 10 goals in 20 appearances for Welling last year and while he still needs work, there is unbelievable talent there and the club can enjoy a very good signing."

Marsh is the seventh player to leave Ebbsfleet this summer after Dean Pooley, Brendan Kiernan, Jordan Sanderson, Luke Rooney, Mark Gower and Jamie Turner.

New manager Daryl McMahon has made four signings so far - goalkeeper Jonathan Miles and midfielders John Paul Kissock, Jordan Parkes and Robbie Willmott.
