Kevin Nicholson and Lee Mansell have agreed new contracts at Torquay after making almost 500 appearances for the club together.

The duo have been handed two-and-a-half-year deals at Plainmoor. Manager Martin Ling is delighted to have secured the pair's services for the immediate future. "I spoke to both of them in the summer and they had done really well last year, so I told them they were a big part of where I wanted to go," he said in a statement. "They're a big part of Torquay United. They are brilliant on the training ground and they've both had superb seasons so far. "I have always thought of Manse as a midfield player, although I didn't expect him to get so many goals as quickly as he has, but his energy and enthusiasm around the club is there for everyone to see. The goals have been an added bonus and he has been a big, big plus for us. "Nico gives you quality going forward and he defends very well in a back-four unit. He's been superb for us and they are two big components in having the right players at the club for seasons to come."
