Advertisement Speaking after the match to the club's media, Richard Luffman said: 'I won't get carried away, it is just pre-season and it was a really good test for us. 'There were some realty good individual performances, but we looked like a robust unit.'

Midfielder Will Jenkins Davies is joining National League South side Bath City after being released by Plymouth Argyle. It is a move which sees the 20-year-old reunited with his former Argyle under-18s head coach Darren Way, who was appointed as Bath's manager in December. Jenkins Davies has spent much of the last two seasons playing in National League South on loan to Torquay United from Argyle. Advertisement He made 21 starts and 13 substitute appearances for Paul Wotton's Gulls last term and scored six goals as they finished runners-up to title winners Truro City on goal difference.

Overall, he played 12 times for the Pilgrims' senior side, starting six games. What turned out to be his last match for the Pilgrims came against Tom Cleverley's Watford in a 2-0 Carabao Cup second round loss at Vicarage Road last August. Advertisement Way, whose Bath side finished 15th in National League South last season, is excited about the signing of Jenkins Davies. "It's a player I know extremely well, I worked with Will for four years while I was working at Plymouth," he said. "He's someone who has got a huge amount of talent. Twenty years of age, probably been a little bit unfortunate that he has not broken into the first team at Plymouth Argyle with them getting promoted to the Championship. He's very committed, he's a 24-hour professional, knows what the game demands and has got fantastic character and personality. "I think the supporters will like what they see. He's very attacking minded, box to box, got great energy, real desire and commitment to score goals, arrives in the box at the right time in the right place. I expect big things from him. "He scored a lot of goals with his head, off his left foot, his right foot, someone who is technically very good and I think he's a great addition to the squad." Advertisement Way added: "There was a huge amount of competition to sign him. I have built a great relationship with Will over a number of years and probably that was a massive selling point in him signing for Bath City. "I think the moment I left Plymouth Argyle I have stayed in contact with his agent, who I have to say has been fantastic throughout this process. He has always kept me updated of his situation. "Will had decisions he had to make and it's never easy when you are going through that process because he has been at Plymouth for a long time. There was a lot of hard work that has gone into getting him to sign." You can read more of our Argyle stories from Plymouth Live by clicking HERE
