Defender Lathanial Rowe-Turner has put off a shot at League Two to stay at King's Lynn for another month.
The classy teenage centre-back is currently on loan at The Walks from Championship side Leicester City, who have told Rowe-Turner he is free to find another club.
He had been training with League Two side Torquay and had seemed set to accept the offer of a contract from the Plainmoor club.
However, with Rowe-Turner unable to sign a permanent deal with any club at Conference level or above until the New Year, the defender seems happy to bide his time before committing himself longer-term - something King's Lynn have taken advantage of.
A Linnets statement said: “The club are pleased to announce that Lathanial Rowe-Turner has decided to turn down the offer of joining Torquay United and has decided to stay with King's Lynn Football Club for at least a further month.
