The full-back has been unable to make an impact since joining Burnley from Manchester United last summer and has yet to feature in the Premier League. He had been waiting to seal a loan move away from Turf Moor, but had been waiting on a tribunal to confirm the fee the Clarets must pay United. Burnley were ordered to stump up £500,000 plus add-ons last week and that allowed Eckersley to join Plymouth in time to start against Preston North End. The 20-year-old is happy that the tribunal issue is now settled and he is looking forward to playing for Argyle. "The tribunal is over and done with now and hopefully I can get on with my career and do well," said Eckersley. "Burnley manager Brian Laws said to me that I just needed some games under my belt and I agreed with him totally. "I just want to play games and if coming down to Plymouth is what it takes, then so be it. "Plymouth are a good club. It might be the bottom of the country, but I'm not bothered as long as I am playing football."
