First team strengthens with Copp's signature

Saturday June 22nd…..

Steve Massey is delighted this evening that Jordan Copp has agreed to return to Treyew Road.

With the news already in that Cody Cooke was staying on, Copp has become the latest player from last season's squad to commit himself to the Massey movement at Truro City.

The 19-year-old started out with Plymouth Argyle's centre of excellence in 2003. In 2010, he signed an apprentice professional contract with the club, and made his first team debut the following year in a League Cup match against Millwall. Having signed his first professional contract in 2012,  Copp was released when it expired at the end of December without making another first team appearance.

He came to Truro City via Frome Town in March and soon became a popular figure with the supporters in his 9 appearances for the club in the Conference South.
