BASTIN SIGNS FOR THE SEAGULLS

Weston-super-Mare AFC are delighted to announce that Winger Jordan Bastin has joined the club from Tiverton Town.

The 24-year-old is capable of playing on either flank, as a No.10 or upfront, scoring 16 goals and bagging 22 assists during his two years at Tiverton.

Talking about the move, Manager Scott Bartlett said:

“Jordan is a really good signing for us, we had to work hard to get him because there was so much competition and we are delighted to have him.

“He is an attacking player with good pace, an aggressive runner with the ball who can beat a man and cross a ball. He works his socks off and can play on either wing or up front and has a good goals and assists ratio.

“We have tried to sign him twice before but it didn’t quite happen, he was loyal to Tiverton who treated him well and I liked that.

“He is one of the best around and is a brilliant signing for us”.

Jordan said:

“I was going to come here last year but it didn’t happen for whatever reason but I’m glad to be here now.

“Weston’s always been a big club, everyone knows that, great footballing team. It suits me perfectly to be here playing football”.
