Plymouth Argyle have signed Aberdeen midfielder Chris Clarke in a £200,000 deal.

The versatile Clark, 27, can operate in midfield or at full-back and has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal at Home Park.

Clark trained with his new team-mates on Wednesday and goes straight into the squad for Saturday's Coca-Cola Championship clash with Southampton.

Argyle boss Paul Sturrock told the club's official website: "Chris can play in four or five positions, so its obviously of great benefit to us that he comes with great pedigree.

"He's had a long spell at Aberdeen, he really wants to do well, and he will kick on from a fresh start."

Clark recently rejected the offer of a new contract to stay with the Aberdeen, where he made 233 appearances.
