Torquay manager Martin Ling is predicting big things for 19-year-old forward Billy Bodin.

Bodin, on loan from Swindon until the new year, has been a regular in Ling's starting line-ups at Plainmoor this season. The Wales Under-21 international has netted three times in 11 appearances since arriving on the English Riviera and Ling believes the youngster is destined for the highest level. He told the club's official website: "I've always been convinced Billy will be a top player and nothing I've seen at this football club has changed my mind. "Billy came here and was straight away a breath of fresh air. He scored two goals, went past people for fun and looked dangerous every time he had the ball. "He's a 19-year-old kid who will have his ups and downs."
