Smith will link up with the Gulls ahead of their home League Two match against Rotherham.

Buckle said: "We have signed a very good young full-back in Adam Smith from Tottenham.

"Adam can play left or right-back and is what we need to cover for Lee Mansell and Kevin Nicholson."

Smith - who has been on trial at Torquay this week - spent a month-long loan spell at League One side Wycombe at the start of the season and made his Football League debut at Charlton on the opening day of the campaign.
