Torquay United: Aaron Dawson and Ollivier Gueguen signed

Torquay United have signed full-back Aaron Dawson, following his release by Exeter City, and free-agent Ollivier Gueguen on non-contract terms.

Dawson, 22, and French defender Gueguen, 24, fill the gap left by the departure of Durrell Berry this week.

Exeter boss Paul Tisdale said Dawson had to leave to move his career on.

"I'm surprised he was released but it's a game of opinions. He really fits the bill for us character-wise," manager Chris Hargreaves told BBC Radio Devon.

Gueguen, who has previously played for Amiens SC and Stade Bretois, had been on trial with the Gulls.
