Yeovil Town have lost a key figure from their recent past after Harry Wannell, the club’s former skipper, agreed to join Torquay United. The 28-year-old midfielder leaves the Glovers after years of first-team football in the National League, where Yeovil now sit 16th with 51 points from 46 games and a recent run of LLDLW.

What does Wannell’s exit mean for Yeovil Town?

Wannell’s departure is the latest in a string of changes at Yeovil Town, who sit 16th in the National League with 51 points, 57 behind runaway leaders York. The Glovers have shipped 68 goals this season—only 48 scored—leaving them with a goal difference of -20. Their last result came on 25 April 2026, a 4-1 loss to Solihull Moors, and their recent form reads LLLLD over the last five matches.

Why did Wannell leave the Glovers?

Wannell, who wore the armband for Yeovil Town in recent seasons, has opted for a fresh start at Torquay United. The move reflects Torquay’s ambition under their current manager, who has reshaped the squad this summer. For Yeovil, it’s another piece of business to navigate as they chase a late push for survival in a congested National League table.

What’s next for Yeovil Town?

Yeovil’s focus now turns to the transfer window and squad reshaping after a campaign that saw them concede 68 goals—only 48 scored—and slip to 16th with 51 points. With York 57 points clear, the Glovers face an uphill battle to climb the table. Their next fixture looms as they look to end a four-game losing streak and steady their ship before the new season’s first real tests.
