Winger Jason Puncheon is sorry to be leaving Barnet, but is looking forward to a new challenge in the Championship with Plymouth Argyle.

The 21-year-old spent two seasons at Underhill and scored 17 goals in 93 appearances for the League two outfit.

Puncheon told the Bees' official club website: "I am, of course, happy to get a move to be able to show my abilities at a higher level.

"But, at the same time, I am sorry to be leaving such a good band of supporters and a chairman and a manager who gave me a chance."

Chairman Tony Kleanthous added: "We are never happy when we have to sell good players, but we made a promise to Jason and are honouring that and giving him a chance to advance his career at a higher level.

"His ability to compete in a higher division is not in doubt and we wish him all the best for the future."
