Down to the Bare Bones

Martyn Rogers says his Tiverton Town squad are down to the bare bones after loan duo Alexis Andre Jr and George Rigg were recalled to their respective clubs.

Andre Jr has returned to Bristol Rovers whilst Rigg has gone back to Bath City, meaning the Yellows are light on numbers for their trip to Stratford Town on Tuesday evening.

Whilst Rogers says he has played that can cover for Rigg, the biggest issue is replacing goalkeeper Andre Jr.

He said: “The disappointing things are that Alexis has been called back by Bristol Rovers and George Rigg has been called back by Bath.

“We’re down to the bare bones now, I’m still working on getting a keeper in but I’ll have someone in for the trip to Stratford.

“With George Rigg, we’ve got Nick Hurst fit again so he’ll be back in the squad and will replace George as far as numbers go.

“Jamie Price is back fit now, so you have one up and one down, but the main thing will be sorting the goalkeeper out.

“We’re bare bones but you’ve got to get on with it.”

The Yellows travel to Stratford on Tuesday before a trip to Kings Langley on Saturday to face two sides in the bottom half of the Southern League Premier Division and Rogers knows they need to target six points.
