Signing: Dillon De Silva

Stones have completed the signing of talented winger Dillon De Silva from Torquay United.

The 21-year-old is known for his exceptional speed and technical skills, making a significant impact at Torquay United, showcasing his ability to change games with his agility and sharpness on the ball. He made 48 appearances for The Gulls, scoring 7 goals.

Born in England and a full international for Sri Lanka with 12 caps, De Silva is a product of the QPR Academy and initially joined Torquay on loan in October 2022 before being recalled by his parent club in March 2023. He signed on a permanent deal for Torquay at the start of the current season.

Stones manager David Noble expressed his delight with our latest acquisition, stating, "Dillon brings a dynamic edge to our attacking options with his pace, dribbling ability, and keen eye for goal. His energy and commitment to both attacking and defensive duties make him a perfect fit for our style of play."

"We're confident in Dillon's potential to excel at this level and contribute significantly to our ambitions. His adaptability and drive align with our ethos, and we believe he will quickly become a fan favourite."

De Silva joins his new teammates immediately, integrating into the squad and preparing for the challenges ahead in the National League, including our away fixture at York City tomorrow.

We warmly welcome Dillon to the club and look forward to witnessing his contributions on the pitch as we push forward in our campaign.
