- Published Truro City chairman Eric Perez has confirmed the club will remain a full-time professional side after suffering relegation to National League South. A last-gasp defeat by Yeovil Town on Good Friday sealed the Tinners' fate with four games to go and boss John Askey labelled their return to the sixth tier after one season in the National League as 'embarrassing.'
"Relegation is not where we wanted to be, but it does not define who we are, or where we are going," Perez wrote in a club statement on Truro's website., external
"What excites me most, however, is what comes next. We are not stepping back, we are building forward. I want to be absolutely clear that we will continue as a full-time football club for the 2026-27 season.
That decision reflects our ambition and our belief that we can, and will, compete at the highest level possible.
We are committed to putting ourselves in the strongest position to return to the National League, and to do so with purpose and momentum."
