Torquay United boss Paul Buckle has added Plymouth Argyle striker to his squad after he penned a deal at Plainmoor until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has struggled to make an impact this term but made three starts and four substitute appearances for the Pilgrims.

His one goal came in the 4-1 victory over Reading in December.

Plymouth manager Paul Mariner is delighted that he is able to make a move that could allow him to gather regular first-team experience.

He said: "He needs to get in the battle-zone. It might be best for his career. He's got a lot of attributes that you want.

"He is mobile and aggressive, but, like all young players, he needs to work on his awareness and his first touch - you could say that about every player walking.

"He is at a stage where it is probably a good idea for him to go out and hopefully be a star down there."
