ARGYLE MAKE DOUBLE SWOOP

Whilst many clubs are busy concluding last minute deadline day deals, the only of the four South West professional clubs involved in signing any players, so far, has been Plymouth Argyle.

Pilgrims' boss John Sheridan has made two acquisitions in the form of Algerian midfielder Hamza Bencherif and the loan signing of left back Jamie Reckord from Wolves.

Bencherif, 25, has played in England since 2007 and put pen to paper on a short-term deal following a successful trial spell.

He has previously had stints with Nottingham Forest, Lincoln City, Macclesfield Town and Notts County.

Reckord, 21, has represented England at Under-16 and Under-17 levels and also had loan spells with Northampton Town, Scunthorpe United and Coventry City and will remain at Home Park until the beginning of January 2014.

Both players will be available for tomorrow night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Cheltenham Town.
