Former Argyle striker Sean McCarthy has re-joined the Pilgrims for a third time-as first team coach as part of John Sheridan's new look backroom staff.
McCarthy first joined Argyle in 1988 from Swansea City and stayed at Home Park for two years before moving to Bradford City.
He then went on to play for Oldham Athletic and Bristol City before returning to Argyle when he was re-signed by his former team-mate Kevin Hodges in 1998.
Sean's second stint at Home Park lasted for three years, during which time he scored his 200th career league goal and bagged himself a brace in Argyle's first ever win under Paul Sturrock-a 2-0 away victory over Exeter City.
Following his release by the Pilgrims-Sean joined the Grecians and was sent-off when the two sides met at Home Park in March 2002 for a challenge on Graham Coughlan in a game Exeter lost 3-0.
After hanging up his boots, Sean enjoyed a successful spell as manager of Truro City, who he guided to the Southern League Division One South and West title in the 2008-09 season.
More recently, Sean has been working as assistant manager to his former Bradford City team-mate Paul Jewell.
He joins a backroom staff that includes assistant manager Gary Owers, fitness coach John Harbin, goalkeeping coach Rhys Wilmot and Chief Scout Darren Sheridan, John Sheridan's brother.
