PAUL Sturrock has set himself set himself the task of reviving Bradley Wright-Phillips' career.

Bradley, 24, has joined the Pilgrims on a two-year deal after being what Luggy called an "in and out player" during a three-season spell at Southampton.

The Pilgrims' manager believes he can get rid of the "and out" part of that description.

"He was kind of an in and out player at Southampton - I think it's time to rekindle his career," said Luggy.

"It's time for him to work his passage to get himself back to the standards he has achieved in the past, and I think we're the right kind of club for him.

"When he started at Manchester City, he was very bright, but his career has taken a nosedive over the last two or three seasons.

"We've just got to turn him on, to find and push the right buttons. We'll be working very hard with him.

"The reason why I went down the road with him is that he's done it before, and I am very confident he will do it again.

"He's seen it, done it, got the t-shirt but he hasn't done it very often lately and we have got to find out what makes this boy tick very quickly."

Luggy sees a central role for his new signing, whose desire to succeed was a clinching factor in sealing the deal.

"He can play different systems," said Luggy. "He has played on the left quite regularly for Southampton, and the right, but he has come here to be one of our main strikers.

"I talked to him twice - I had him down to Plymouth to have a look at the place, and I met him in London - and he's a very level-headed boy.

"When I looked into his eyes, he looked like a boy who is hungry again.

"He went through a sticky spell in his life - he paid the penalty for that - and now is the time to rekindle his career."
