League Two strugglers Torquay have signed Sheffield United midfielder Lloyd Kerry on a month's loan. Chesterfield-born Kerry, 19, has come up through the Blades' youth ranks but has not yet played for the first team.
Meanwhile, 34-year-old defender Dean Gordon, a free agent since leaving Blackpool in February, has now signed for the Gulls on non-contract terms.
But leaving Plainmoor by mutual consent is defender Stephen Reed, 21, who has joined Tiverton Town.
