Worthing Sign Striker Jordan Young from Torquay United

Worthing have moved to sharpen their attacking edge by signing striker Jordan Young from National League South rivals Torquay United for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old arrives with a proven record at this level. Since joining Torquay from Yeovil Town in October 2024, Young has hit 35 goals in 88 appearances, a return that made him one of United’s key threats in the final third.

Worthing boss Adam Hinshelwood made it clear why he pushed to get the deal done, highlighting Young’s set-piece quality and ability to change a game in an instant. He described the forward as a player with “great dead-ball delivery” who can both score and create “from out of nowhere”, and backed him to become a major figure in Worthing’s attack.

Torquay, while losing a leading scorer, have protected their longer-term interests. The club confirmed that the agreement includes a clause ensuring they retain a “significant financial interest” in any future transfer involving Young.

Worthing get a striker in his prime. Torquay keep a stake in whatever comes next. The real verdict will arrive when Young pulls on the shirt and the chances start to fall his way.
