MCCORMICK MAKES HOME PARK RETURN

Plymouth Argyle manager John Sheridan has made former Pilgrims' goalkeeper Luke McCormick his first close season signing, five years after he was sacked by the club for causing death by dangerous driving.

In 2008, McCormick was sacked by Argyle for causing death of two children in a car crash before he received a jail term of seven and a half years-of which he served half.

Following his release from prison, McCormick joined Truro City before making his return to league football with Oxford United, for whom he made 15 appearances, last January before he was released by U's boss Chris Wilder.

He has agreed a one-year deal with Argyle.

The Pilgrims have announced that he will be donated a 'significant sum to a local children's charity and will also be donating time to support it.

His last appearance for Argyle came on the final day of the 2007-08 season against Wolves whilst Argyle were still in the Championship.

McCormick is the third player to commit his future to the Pilgrims afer Guy Branston and Paul Wotton have both agreed new deals.

Wotton will also be combining playing with a coaching role at Argyle's Youth Academy.
