After departing Bideford, Seedhouse headed closer to home with Buckland Athletic before taking a brief break from football to work on his media commitments. A return to semi pro with Rovers halfway through last season led to linking up with his boyhood club Torquay United where he helped develop the Gulls keepers over a period of time. the Non League Pickford is back.

Club media caught up with Ben Watson, as we welcomed another member of the 26/27 squad back to Silver Street, and this is what he had to say: “I’m extremely happy to secure Adam for the coming season. Adam was fantastic during his short spell last season and will add experience and quality in abundance.

Adam has a fantastic personality and is ambitious. He is hungry and that’s the kind of personal we want at Willand”
