STRIKER Tim Sills says he is happy to be beside the seaside after leaving Hereford United to sign a two-year deal with Torquay United.

Sills, who scored just twice in 43 games for the Edgar Street club, opted to join the newly relegated Blue Square Premier side despite interest from Aldershot, Rushden and Diamonds and Stevenage.

The 27-year-old said: "Everything about Torquay is on the up, it's a good club, there has been a change in management and they wanted me.

"I've come down and looked at the area and it's a great place to be down by the seaside. Who wouldn't be happy?"

"I am 100 per cent sure I have made the right choice and I am delighted to be here."
