Law Signs for Dawlish Town

Former Torquay United striker Gareth Law has joined the Sandy Lane set-up ostensibly in the role of club physio as part of on-going studies to qualify as a sports physiotherapist.

However, the fact that he's kept active playing for Kingsteignton Athletic in the Premier Division of the WBW Solicitors South Devon League, has prompted player-manager Adam Shearer to name Law in his squad of 14.

"He's first and foremost the club's new phsyio, but we will also use him as an option on the field," said Shearer.

"He won't start tomorrow, but there's every chance he could be on the subs' bench."

Shearer insists Law is not a replacement for goalscorer Antony Lynch, who left Dawlish last week to join Buckland Athletic in the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League.

And neither are there plans for anyone to be appointed as Lynch's replacement as joint player-manager.
