“I’m glad to be back,” said Lemonheigh-Evans to TorquayUnited.com after making the return to Plainmoor.
“I know the club well, I know the place well, and have worked with the Gaffer for the last two years, so it was a no-brainer really to come back and play football in as many games as I can.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in, seeing the boys again and cracking on!”
