Despite the disappointment of losing influential centre back Peter Hartley to Bristol Rovers, Pilgrims manager Derek Adams has boosted his squad with three new arrivals.
Midfielder Ryan Donaldson became Adams' first summer signing when he joined Argyle after rejecting an offer of a new contract with Cambridge United. Donaldson played a key role in helping the U's win promotion back into the Football League by scoring in their 2014 Conference Play-off final victory over Gateshead.
The Pilgrims' next new face was someone well known to Adams from his time as manager of Ross County in Scotland in the form of ex-Cameroon Under-20 defender Yann Songo'o, following his release by Blackburn Rovers.
Songo'o, who made 17 appearances under Adams during the 2013-14 season - where he was team-mate of Argyle midfielder Graham Carey, comes from a family which have a fine footballing pedigree. His brother, Franck, had a spell with Portsmouth, whilst his father, Jacques, represented Cameroon at the 1998 World Cup and also played with Deportivo La Coruna in Spain.
They were recently joined by Connor Smith, a player who is familiar to Adams - but for very different reasons to Songo'o. Smith, a former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, was part of the AFC Wimbledon that defeated the Pilgrims in last season's League Two Play-off final.
Smith joins Argyle after rejecting a new deal with the Dons and will be hoping to secure a second successive promotion at Home Park.
