Plymouth Argyle striker Rory Patterson has left the Pilgrims to join Irish Premiership champions Linfield on a year long loan. The move means that Patterson, who has a year left on his contract at Plymouth, is unlikely to represent them again.
Patterson was involved in a contract dispute with Argyle after the club asked him to sign a deed of deferral for a eight straight month. He refused and was threatened with action by Argyle’s administrators.
Patterson joined Plymouth from Coleraine in 2010 and scored four times in 35 appearances for the Home Park outfit.
Patterson was originally supposed to join Linfield’s rivals Glentoran last summer but chose to move to Plymouth instead without playing a single game for the Glens.
Plymouth will compete in League Two this season following their relegation from League One.
