DORCHESTER Town have been given a major boost by the loan signing of Olaf Koszela from Torquay United.

Koszela has scored five goals in 20 appearances for the Magpies in his previous two spells at the Avenue.

The Gulls' striker, like clubmate Alex Moyse, joins Dorchester until January 2023.

Koszela, 20, was brought in as a trialist for the 0-0 draw with Yeovil in pre-season, having earned a new contract at Plainmoor this summer.

Dorchester boss Glenn Howes said: "We're delighted to be able to welcome Olaf back to the club.

"We of course know all about Olaf's qualities and everyone is fully aware of what he can bring to the squad after his time with us last season.

"He's been in our plans over the summer and we've been talking to Torquay right from the word go, so while it's one that we had hoped to get over the line a little bit earlier, it's fantastic to have him back."

Koszela trained with the Magpies squad on Thursday evening and is set to be involved this afternoon at Truro City (3pm).
