Truro City is delighted to announce the loan signing of striker Luke Jehpcott from League Two outfit Newport County. 

The 25-year-old who was born in Wales, but spent most of his formative years here in the Duchy, will remain with the Tinners until the end of the 2024-25 Vanarama National League South season. 

Jephcott cut his footballing teeth across the Tamar at Home Park with Plymouth Argyle and made his first team debut in 2018, before joining City on loan for the first half of the 2019-20 campaign, scoring eight times in 18 games. 

After he was recalled by the Pilgrims, his goals helped Argyle win promotion to League One and the following campaign, was prolific in the scoring charts, bagging a double figure return. 

He departed the now Championship Devonians in 2022 for Swindon Town and has subsequently had spells north of the border with St Johnstone before joining Newport last year. 

“I’m happy to be back and closer to home,” Jephcott told trurocity.co.uk. “I know the club and quite a few of the lads here so I’m really excited and can’t wait to get going. 

“Last time I was here I did well and my career went on from there. Coming back, I will be looking to  do similar and getting back out on the pitch, to show what I can do. 

“I’ve come in to help the team push for promotion, play-offs and as many points as we can get between now and the end of the season. 

“In the past, I’ve shown that when I am happy with my situation, I can provide and score goals. I want to express myself and enjoy football again, by giving everything, like the lads do already.”
