ARGYLE wing wizard Craig Noone was "delighted" after signing a new one-year extension to his contract with the Pilgrims

Having signed from Southport in 2008 when the Liverpudlian was working as a part time roofer whilst with the Conference North side, Noone became an instant hit with the Green Army with his quick feet and pace.

Featuring in 21 games in the 08/09 season and scoring one goal, he went to Exeter City at the start of this season to gain playing time, and was very impressive, scoring two goals in seven appearances.  His return to Home Park brought more encouraging performances until an ongoing knee problem curtailed his progress.

"I'm happy to sign it [the extension] and I'm looking forward to playing again next season," he said. "I want to play games every week and, hopefully, keep a place in the team.

"I've just had an injection in the knee. It's going to be fine, its just inflamed tendons, which needs rest. There are no operations or anything for it, just injections and rest."

Looking over his season, Noone is despondent over the start, but is happier about more recent times.

"I've shown him [head coach Paul Mariner] what I can do and he gave me a couple of starts. I've done well and played well against Leicester, and scored, so that was my highlight for the season."
