CAREY RECEIVES DOUBLE RECOGNITION

Plymouth Argyle midfielder Graham Carey received double recognition this week, as he followed up being named in the PFA League One team of the season for 2017-18 by being named in FourFourTwo's top 50 players outside the Premier League.

The Irishman, who was also named in the League Two team of the season for the 2016-17 campaign, came 27th in the magazine's annual list which includes players from Leagues One and Two and the Championship.

He is the only Pilgrims player to feature on the list and the only player from either Argyle, Exeter City or Yeovil Town.

Carey is also the sixth highest-placed League One player on the list behind Josh Morris (Scunthorpe United) 26th, Charlie Mulgrew (Blackburn Rovers) 21st, Jack Marriott (Peterborough United) 19th, Bradley Dack (Blackburn) 18th and Nick Powell (Wigan Athletic) 14th.

Other notable names in the list includes former Argyle loanees Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid (both with Bristol City) 23rd and 12th, ex Torquay United striker Adebayo Akinfenwa (Wycombe Wanderers) 25th, ex-Exeter City starlet Ollie Watkins (Brentford) 17th and Plymouth-born defender Sean Morrison (Cardiff City) 8th.
