Club career

edit

AFC Bournemouth

edit

Born in Southampton, Terrell previously played within the youth academies of both Portsmouth and Southampton before joining the youth academy at AFC Bournemouth in 2018.[2]

He signed his first professional contract with AFC Bournemouth on 1 January 2021[3] and he is still contracted to both their youth academy and their senior team.[4][5]

Wimborne Town (Two loan spells)

edit

Terrell was loaned out to Wimborne Town during the 2020–21 season and he made ten appearances in all competitions,[5] all coming in 2020 as the league season was curtailed before all matches could be played.

He was loaned out again to Wimborne Town during the 2021–22 season,[4][6] making a further sixteen appearances for the club.[5]

Weymouth (First loan spell)

edit

Terrell was loaned out to Weymouth between 20 August 2022 and 1 January 2023 and made four appearances for the club.[4][7]

Dover Athletic (Loan)

edit

During the first half of the 2023–24 season,[nb 1] he was loaned out to Dover Athletic[8] after Stuart Nelson moved to Cirencester Town,[9] and during his time at the club, Terrell was a regular inclusion in the starting line-up.[5]

Dartford (Loan)

edit

For the remainder of the 2023–24 season, Terrell was loaned out to Dartford as a replacement for Ryan Sandford,[10] who had moved to Crawley Town.[11] He played all twelve league matches for Dartford during his time at the club.[5]

Weymouth (Second loan spell)

edit

Terrell was loaned out to Weymouth for a second time during a season-long deal encompassing the 2024–25 season as a replacement for Gerard Benfield,[1][2] who was loaned out by Weymouth to Dorchester Town.[nb 2]

Terrell has so far appeared in seven league for Weymouth during the 2024–25 season, and despite this, he became an unused substitute during a 2–1 away win against Dorking Wanderers on 7 September 2024 as Benfield was recalled from his loan spell at Dorchester Town to play one match for Weymouth.[nb 2]

Terrell has not played in any league matches for Weymouth since September 2024, with the club favouring to instead start goalkeeper Will Buse, who was signed on a loan deal from Yeovil Town until January 2025.[12]

Terrell was named as the substitute goalkeeper during Weymouth's 2–0 loss against Forest Green Rovers during the FA Cup 4th qualifying round match on 13 October 2024.
