BILLY Kee is desperate to score his first Torquay goal against former club Accrington Stanley tomorrow – and he admits he feels more at home on the south coast.

Kee spent last season on loan at Stanley from Leicester and the friendly banter has already started ahead of the Reds’ visit to Plainmoor in League Two.

The 19-year-old forward opted to join Torquay rather Accrington in June after being released by Leicester, but he has started only three matches and is yet to score.

Torquay, though, are currently second in the table and, while stressing he enjoyed his time at the Crown Ground, Kee admits he sometimes felt isolated outside of training hours - with a large proportion of the squad based in Liverpool and returning to Merseyside each day.

“I’m loving it at Torquay,” Kee said.

“I’ve got an apartment and there are three or four of us in the same block.

“I did enjoy it at Stanley and there’s a great atmosphere there.

“But a lot of the lads are from Liverpool and they all went back there, so we didn’t really go out together at night.

“I was moving around a lot, although it was better when Johnny Flynn (Kee’s Northern Ireland under 21 team-mate) came on loan because we moved in with each other.

“A lot of the others have a missus but for a young lad it’s different.

"If I had signed in the summer I would have moved to Liverpool.

“Maybe I would have started more games if I had signed there but sometimes it’s not all about that, you have to be enjoying it.

“They didn’t sign players until late this summer, and I enjoyed playing with Michael Symes so I wasn’t sure how things were going to be when he left.

“They didn’t have a permanent training base as well, a place of work. You had to be off the pitch by 12.

“At Torquay they have just got new facilities and there’s a gym there.

"But, you never know, I may end up back at Accrington one day and I’m still mates with them.

“There has been banter and a few have said they’re going to break my leg, although I know they’re only joking!

“I’d love to score my first goal on Saturday. That would really wind everyone up.”
