Plymouth Argyle have agreed a new two-year contract with defender Mathias Doumbe.

The 29-year-old Frenchman joined the Pilgrims from Hibernian four years ago and has made more than 110 appearances for the Championship club.

"I am very happy Matty has agreed to stay," manager Paul Sturrock told the club's official website.

"Last year he had a tough time. When I arrived at the club the defence had been doing well and he was waiting for a chance to get back into the team.

"From the Southampton game on he did very well but suffered a couple niggling hamstring problems which sidelined him again.

"With a good pre-season I can see Mat having a good campaign and continuing as a vital member of the team."
