For a boyhood Argyle fan Randell, who progressed through the club's youth ranks, the script could not have been written any better as he secured a 2-1 win over his hometown club.
Randell joins a long line of Plymouth-born players who have endeared themselves to the 'Green Army' over the years and established themselves as first team regulars. The list includes the likes of Steve Davey, John Uzzell, Mickey Evans, Paul Wotton, Steve Adams, Joe Mason, not to mention Randell's teammate Michael Cooper.
After signing his first professional contract in 2018, Randell made a smattering of appearances for the Pilgrims before joining Torquay United on a season-long loan deal in the 2020-21 campaign. He finished the season as the Gulls' young player of the year and also featured in their National League Play-off final defeat to Hartlepool United.
On his return to Home Park, he soon became a regular in the Argyle line-up as he helped the Pilgrims to win promotion from League One with a record points haul of 101 and the final of the EFL Trophy in the 2022-23 campaign.
