SAINTS academy striker Luke Pearce has joined Torquay United on a one-month loan deal, after interest from EFL clubs this summer.
The 19 year old will link up with the National League South side having undertaken a trial period with Birmingham City earlier in the window.
Pearce enjoyed a successful loan in the same division last season with Eastbourne Borough, where he scored six times in 17 appearances.
The club statement adds: “The club wishes Luke well for the duration of his loan spell and will continue to follow his progress.”
