Macklin was a product of the Swindon youth team

Torquay United are set to bring back winger Lloyd Macklin to Plainmoor following his release from Swindon.

The 18-year-old, who made four appearances for the Gulls on loan last season, has agreed a contract that will bring him back to the south coast.

Torquay boss Paul Buckle said: "Lloyd showed enough good form during his loan spell here.

"He has electric pace and is another young player who can contribute on the pitch and has plenty of potential."

Macklin's arrival in Devon will help fill the right-wing berth vacated by Mustapha Carayol, who left for Lincoln City last month.
