ARGYLE ADD BOCO

Plymouth Argyle manager has boosted his attacking options further with the addition of Benin international Rommy Boco from Accrington Stanley.

Boco, 28, who is a friend and international team-mate of former Pilgrims' defender Reda Johnson, arrives at Home Park on a one-year deal.

A proven goal scorer in League Two, he scored Stanley's first goals on their return to the Football League in the 2006-07 season as they beat Barnet 2-1 in their third fixture of the campaign.

Over a year later, Boco left the Crown Ground to link up with former team-mate Paul Cook at League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers before later returning to East Lancashire when Cook was appointed as successor to the long-serving John Coleman.

He becomes Sheridan's fifth summer signing, following in the footsteps of Luke McCormick, Lewis Alessandra, Reuben Reid and Marvin Morgan, and looks set to play a key role in what could turn out to be a very attack-minded side.

His arrival also comes on the same day that it was announced that former Argyle loanee Jason Banton has joined MK Dons on loan, one of the sides that the Pilgrims are due to face in a pre-season fixture at Home Park.
