REUBEN'S RETURN

There might have been speculation that he could have attempted by other offers- but Reuben Reid will be a Plymouth Argyle player for the 2014-15 season after agreeing a new deal to stay at Home Park.

Following his release from Yeovil Town, Reid- who netted 21 times for the Pilgrims last season whilst on a season long loan from the Glovers- had been linked with possible moves elsewhere, but has committed his future to Argyle.

Reid, 25, will now be embarking on his fourth spell with the Pilgrims after initially arriving at Home Park in 2005 before being released by Paul Sturrock in 2008.

He would later return to the Pilgrims on loan twice, firstly in January 2013 and then for a full season-long loan deal for the duration of the 2013-14 campaign where he became the first Pilgrims' striker since Tommy Tynan to score 20 or more goals in one season.

His permanent acquisition now gives Argyle manager John Sheridan a choice of strikers that can rival the best in League Two for the 2014-15 campaign, as he joins a crop of strikers that includes Deane Smalley, who signed from Oxford United earlier in the close season, Lewis Alessandra, Marvin Morgan and rookie striker Matt Lecointe.

However, Sheridan will probably be on the lookout for a new midfielder and right back after Argentinean midfielder Andres Gurrieri and right back Durrell Berry rejected new one-year deals.
