Truro City are delighted to announce the signing of former Nottingham Forest defender Sam Sanders on loan from York City, and young striker Obed Yeboah from AFC Wimbledon. 

Sanders, a 21-year-old centre-half, joins the club on a six-month loan deal from the National League side.

Sanders started his career with Nottingham Forest where he played for their youth teams up to U23s level.

He went on loan to York in February 2022 and helped them secure promotion to the National League.

He rejected a new deal with the Premier League side the following summer to sign a permanent deal with the Minstermen.

He made 20 National League appearances for York before ending the 2022/2023 campaign on loan with Boston United in the National League North.

Sanders was pleased to get the deal finally done.

“I’m really happy to be here and can’t wait to get going. It’s a beautiful part of the country and I have only ever heard good things and positive feedback about the club.”

“I knew the club as a few players that I know have been on loan here before. They have all spoken about the club highly in the past which made the decision of coming down here a lot easier.”

Yeboah, 18, joins the White Tigers on a permanent basis after impressing in pre-season.

The striker played in the friendly victories over both Helston Athletic and Falmouth Town where he caught the eye of Manager Paul Wotton.

“Obed is someone we’ve had down during pre-season. He played a couple of 45 minutes for us. He’s a little bit behind fitness-wise but he’s a strong powerful player and something different to what we’ve got. I’m excited to get working with him.”

Obed, who is the nephew of former Leeds United striker Tony Yeboah started his career with AFC Wimbledon where he came through the club’s academy system.

He made his professional debut in March against Barrow in League Two last season.

He ended the campaign with a work experience loan at Corinthian Casuals in the Isthmian League before he was released by the Dons in May.
