Sean Hankin

Torquay United are aiming to secure the services of Palace defender Sean Hankin. He is currently on loan with The Gulls, but Palace have refused to extend his loan period.

Hankin's loan period ends on Wednesday.

The Palace youngster, who has played only once for the Palace first team, has played 4 games for Torquay.

His performances have impressed manager Roy McFarland, even though he was sent off in their game against Mansfield.
