Championship side Plymouth Argyle have strengthened their squad with the double signing of Bondz N’Gala and Onismor Bhasera. Defender N’Gala has joined on loan from West Ham and Zimbabwean full-back Bhasera will move to Home Park if his application for a work permit is successful.
N’Gala will move to Plymouth on Thursday and could go straight into the starting line-up for their trip to Coventry on Saturday. Plymouth are currently struggling in the relegation zone and Argyle boss Paul Mariner is hoping the arrival of defensive reinforcement’s helps improve the sides results.
Mariner told the clubs official website: “N’Gala’s a very, very strong defender. He’s not an archetypal Championship defender, he’s got more ability than that, but he’s an uncompromising defender who likes to defend. He’s been on our radar. He came in for a week’s training and we wanted to keep him but it wasn’t happening.
Plymouth’s Championship rivals Coventry City are taking a look at young Hinckley defender Connor Franklin. The 18 year-old full-back played in a trial game on Tuesday night hoping to impress Sky Blues boss Chris Coleman.
The left-back was a former a trainee at Leicester City before the Foxes released him. He is apparently attracting interest from a number of league clubs but Coventry are the first to have made a move for the youngster.
