Martin Horsell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Horsell (born October 12, 1986) is an English professional football goalkeeper, currently with Torquay United.

Horsell was spotted by a scout from Plymouth Argyle while playing for his school, the King Edward VI Community College in his hometown Totnes. He played for the Argyle Youth sides and while attending Plymouth College was selected for the British Colleges side.

He left Plymouth in 2004 when he moved to the Bristol Academy of Sport at Filton College. Soon after starting at the College he was selected to play for the Bristol Rovers under-18 side and in October 2004 was signed by Rovers manager Ian Atkins on non-contract terms as cover for Kevin Miller [1]. He signed a professional contract with Rovers for the 2005-06 season, but failed to break into the first team.

In July 2006, after his release by Rovers [2], he signed for Torquay United, by now managed by Ian Atkins as back-up for Nathan Abbey [3].
