OSCAR MASSEY

Born in Truro, Massey attended Argyle's Cornwall Centre of Excellence at Brannel School in St Stephen before progressing to the club's academy as an under-12. A pupil of Penair Secondary School in Truro, he played for West Cornwall Schools at under 13, 14 and 15 levels.
In 2018, in his second of three trips to the prestigious SuperCupNI, the 14-year-old returned with the Golden Boot for being the top goalscorer in the junior section, with five goals in as many games. That same summer, he was selected for an England under-15 training camp in Loughborough.
In July 2020 Massey's progress was rewarded with a two-year apprenticeship at the club. On August 31st, 2021 he made his senior debut in an EFL Trophy match at Newport County, but this turned out to be his only first-team appearance for the Pilgrims. In May 2022, at the end of his apprenticeship, the bad news came that he would not be offered a new contract.
Fortunately for him, Swindon Town were quick to step in. Massey became the Robins' first signing of the summer of 2022, and he made his debut for his new club in an EFL Cup match at Walsall that August.
During the 2022-23 season, Massey spent time out on loan with Hungerford Town and Wantage Town before loan moves to Plymouth Parkway and Tavistock, before his release by Swindon Town at the end of that season.
Massey subsequently joined Penzance in the summer of 2023 before joining Barnstaple Town in September 2023, and then Falmouth Town that December.
