There are some players who come to a club and simply fit. Whether it is the style, the timing, or the people around them, everything clicks quickly, and it becomes obvious to everyone watching that the story isn’t finished after a first chapter.

Tylor Love-Holmes is one of those players.

Plymouth Parkway are delighted to confirm the winger’s return to Bolitho Park on a short-term three-month loan from Truro City, marking his second spell with the Yellows this season. Love-Holmes featured earlier in the campaign before an early recall by the Tinners, but Parkway supporters don’t need reminding of the impact he’s capable of making in yellow.

Speaking on Tylor’s return to Yellow, Parkway boss Chris McPhee could only see this as positive news for his current crop of players: “Tylor is a player who gives everything on the pitch and can play in a few positions. No doubt his arrival will give the lads a boost due to his superb character and he’s already built relationships on and off the pitch with the other lads.”

Still only 20, Love-Holmes has already stacked up a football education that reads older than his years. After coming through the academy setup at Plymouth Argyle, he joined Truro City in July 2024 following a successful trial and quickly earned a two-year deal. He has since become part of Truro’s full-time professional group, now operating in the National League, and has added important minutes across the 2025/26 season.

Before that, his name was already well-known locally. In 2023/24 he was a regular for hometown club Saltash United, picking up the Manager’s Player of the Year award and collecting the Tim Halford Award for Outstanding Moment after a spectacular overhead kick on Boxing Day against St Blazey. It was the type of moment that hinted at a player who can tilt a game in an instant.

Parkway saw that quality up close last season. His first loan spell with the Yellows coincided with Parkway’s best run of the 2024/25 campaign, and his contributions this time were decisive rather than decorative. An injury-time winner against Chertsey Town, goals against Gosport Borough and Bracknell Town, and then a two-goal, man-of-the-match outing away to Taunton Town endeared him to the Parkway faithful.

Even in a short four-game return earlier this season, Love-Holmes picked up exactly where he left off. Parkway were wobbling against Dorchester when he helped drag the side back from the brink, scoring Parkway’s second in a 3-3 draw. A fine solo strike away to Berkhamsted then ensured another point on the road, and he also found the net again in the 3-2 defeat at Wimborne Town before being recalled. He doesn’t need many games to remind people what he is about.

With Parkway showing plenty of new signs of life over recent weeks, the return of a player who adds conviction and edge in the final third feels timely. Love-Holmes brings directness, confidence in one-v-ones, and that knack of making the “small moments” swing the right way, something that becomes even more valuable as the season grinds deeper into winter. 

Parkway’s influential number four Ryan Brett summed up the mood around the squad:

“A huge boost to the squad having Ty back, a quality player we’re buzzing to have again. Last season & his short spell this season everyone saw his impact. A great attitude & can’t wait to see him back in yellow.”

Love-Holmes himself kept it simple, and it lands because it’s true:

“Once a Parkway player, always a Parkway player.”

The winger featured in Truro City’s midweek Premier League Cup fixture against West Ham United and will be involved immediately for this weekend’s trip to Chertsey Town. With four consecutive away fixtures on the slate, home supporters may have to wait a little longer to see him back at Bolitho, but his return to the Theatre of Trees is set to come in style, with the Devon clash against Tiverton Town on December 27 waiting on the other side.

One way or another, a familiar story gets to be told again.

And if the last chapter is anything to go by, Parkway know exactly why they’re pleased to have him back.
