Plymouth Argyle youngster River Allen signs first professional contract

Plymouth Argyle youngster River Allen has signed a professional deal at Home Park.

Allen, 18, joined the Pilgrims at the age of 11 and was part of the club's Centre of Excellence.

The midfielder was one of just two youth team players offered terms at the end of the season, while Paul Wotton and Curtis Nelson also signed contract extensions at the club.

Plymouth have been one of the most active League Two sides in the transfer market so far, snapping up Lee Cox and Deane Smalley.
