Worthing Signs Striker Jordan Young from Torquay United

Worthing have moved to sharpen their promotion push by landing striker Jordan Young from Torquay United for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old arrives with a proven eye for goal at this level. Since joining Torquay from Yeovil Town in October 2024, Young has hit 35 goals in 88 appearances, a rare bright spot in a turbulent period for the Devon club.

Worthing manager Adam Hinshelwood made no attempt to play down the significance of the signing. He highlighted Young’s threat from set pieces and his ability to conjure something from nothing, describing him as a player who can both score and create in tight games where one moment decides everything.

For Torquay, this is more than a simple sale. The club confirmed that the agreement includes a clause that keeps them heavily invested in Young’s future, with a “significant financial interest” in any onward transfer. In a market where every pound matters, that could prove crucial.

Worthing get a forward who can change the tempo of a match with one swing of his right foot. Torquay, meanwhile, will watch closely, knowing that every goal he scores from here might echo back financially in seasons to come.
