River Allen's Back at
Tiverton

Popular midfielder River Allen has re-joined
Tiverton Town from Pitching In Southern Premier
Division South rivals Plymouth Parkway.
The 26-year-old had been at Bolitho Park since the
summer of 2020 and helped them to two
promotions.
He had returned to Tiverton in June 2019 from Truro
City, having made 13 appearances for Tivvy the
previous season before moving to Treyew Road in October 2018.
Originally with Plymouth Argyle, where he made 3 senior appearances, he moved north to
join Gateshead in June 2015 but by January 2016 he was back in the south west with
Bodmin Town.
He signed for Truro for the first time in the summer of 2016 and, after a loan spell with
Tiverton, moved to Ladysmead on a more permanent basis in July 2018.
For him and his new team, it was only a consolation in a 3-1 defeat at Dorchester Town.
Two Former Boro Boys Join Salisbury

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South
club Salisbury have bolstered their squad ahead of the
August Bank Holiday with two new additions.

Albert White
The Whites have brought in goalkeeper Albert White on
a permanent basis and have also signed Sukjae Lee on
dual registration.
White became a free agent this summer following his
release from League One side Ipswich Town.
He had joined the Tractor Boys in September 1990 from
AFC Wimbledon.
He had been with Dons since the age of 14 after coming through the ranks at Premier
League AFC Bournemouth.
He is, however, certainly no stranger to non-League football, having spent time on loan in
the Isthmian League South Central with Basingstoke Town whilst on AFC Wimbledon’s books
and then made 30 appearances for Salisbury’s league rivals Gosport Borough on loan from
Ipswich last season.
Lee has dual registered with Salisbury and Vanarama National League South side Havant &
Waterlooville.
The 19-year-old South Korean attacking midfielder played in the friendly match against AFC
Portchester and scored a goal to go with an overall impressive display on the night.
He was a team-mate of White’s at Gosport last season, after moving to Privett Park after
being with Portsmouth under-18s.
The agreement with the Hawks is that he won’t be able to feature in FA competitions for
Salisbury.
