Gulls boss Paul Buckle has today signed Shrewsbury Town goalkeeper Scott Bevan on a month long loan. Bevan, 29, started his career at Southampton and, among others, has featured for Huddersfield, Wycombe, and MK Dons. The 6'6'' goalkeeper joined Shrewsbury from Kidderminster, where he played over 50 games, in January this year.

United boss Paul Buckle is pleased to have secured the services of Scott: 'We have lost Michael (Poke) to injury so it was important to act quickly and get a replacement. We could have recalled Martin (Rice) from Truro but Scott became available. He is a goalkeeper who has a lot of experience at this level and I earmarked him before as a possible signing but he chose to go into the Football League. I am very pleased that he has decided to come to Torquay on loan.'
