Its two in and one out at Taunton Town as the Peacocks freshen up the squad heading into a busy November.

Town have got a total of seven games in November and have boosted their squad depth with the additions of midfielders Toby Stephens and Seidou Sanogo.

Striker Kane Simpson has left the club to sign for fellow Southern League Premier South side Gloucester City.

Stephens, who comes from Ashcott, began his youth career at Southampton before signing for Yeovil Town at the age of 17. He broke onto the scene by making his senior debut at Wrexham.

The midfielder has gone on to feature in Southern League Premier South for AFC Totton and Hungerford Town before joining Tiverton Town in the summer. He made 15 appearances for the Devon side, scoring a goal against Bracknell Town.

Seidou Sanogo has joined on a six-week loan from National League side Truro City. He joined the Cornwall team on a two-year deal last year and made the perfect start, scoring in wins over Enfield Town and Worthing.

He then suffered a broken leg in a freak incident in September.

Prior to his transfer to Truro, he was a regular in the Isthmian Premier Division for Folkestone Invicta and also helped Chatham Town to an Isthmian League South East title in 2022-23.
