Matthew Villis (born April 13, 1984) is an English footballer, currently playing as a defender for Torquay United.
Matt Villis was born in Bridgwater. He began his career as a trainee with Plymouth Argyle, turning professional in July 2003. He joined Torquay United on a season-long loan deal in July 2004 [1], making his league debut as an early substitute for Lee Canoville in a 4-2 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday. He went on to play 22 times that season as Torquay unsuccessfully battled against relegation from Division Two.
He was released by Plymouth at the end of the season and joined Torquay on a free transfer in June 2005 [2]. Despite beginning the season as a regular squad member, he lost his place after Torquay's FA Cup draw against non-league Harrogate Town. He returned to the side in February 2006 as Torquay battled against a second successive relegation and was a regular until the end of the season under first John Cornforth and then Ian Atkins.
He was confined to the substitute's bench for the early part of the 2006-07 season, although was restored to the first team under new manager Lubos Kubik.
