Plymouth sign Palace defender Parsons

Crystal Palace defender Matt Parsons has joined Plymouth Argyle.

The 22-year-old, who joins for an undisclosed fee, has loan experience of League Two at Wycombe and Barnet.

"I just wanted to get out and play some games and when I knew Plymouth were interested, I was on it straight away," Parson's told the Argyle website.

Parsons made eight starts for Palace but did not feature in the top flight.

He had been linked with a move to the Pilgrims last summer but the move fell through, partly because of a kidney complaint.

"I was working hard all pre-season then all the work I did just went to pot because I was ill," said Parsons.

"I had a little complaint in my kidneys and was in hospital for five days, and couldn't play football for two months. I was on medication after that, so I haven't really had much game-time from then until now."
