SAINT TO PILGRIM

Posted on: Wed 15 Jul 2009

ARGYLE have signed striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Bradley has joined the Greens on a two-year deal after being released by Southampton.

The 24-year-old's conversion from a Saint to a Pilgrim was confirmed on Wednesday morning by Argyle manager Paul Sturrock, who is delighted to have the former Manchester City man on board.

Luggy said: "I've been an admirer of his for a very long time.

"If you go on Youtube and look at some of the goals he has scored, he has a knack of being in the right place at the right time - we need that type of player.

"He's very, very quick, as well."

Bradley, who will wear the number 10 shirt, is the Pilgrims' second major signing of the summer, following the arrival of midfielder Carl Fletcher from Crystal Palace.

Argyle chairman Sir Roy Gardner said: "Paul was very keen to sign Bradley, and the board was delighted to back him all the way.

"I remember the impact he had when he burst on to the scene with Manchester City, and we are delighted he has agreed to become part of Argyle's New World.

"We are thrilled that the new board's first signing is a player of his talent and ability.

"He is a goalscorer of proven quality and this signing is an indication of the board's desire to bring the kind of player to Home Park that will add real strength to Paul's squad.

"What we'd now like is for the Green Army to come out in numbers for our opening home match against QPR to give a real Westcountry welcome to Bradley and Paul's other signings."
