Plymouth Argyle sign young Irish keeper James Storer on free transfer

Plymouth Argyle have secured Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper James Storer on a two‑year contract, with an option for a third year, after the 21‑year‑old left Wolves on a free transfer in June 2026. The Irish Under‑19 international joins the League One club following a standout season with Greenock Morton.

James Storer made 32 appearances for Greenock Morton last season. He was named the club’s Young Player of the Year at the end of that campaign.

Storer’s career includes loan spells at Chester City and Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton. He spent eight years in the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy before signing the free‑transfer deal.

The two‑year deal includes an option to extend for a third year. The move comes after his contract with Wolves expired for the forthcoming season.

"James is a good shot‑stopper, and has a good eye for distribution," head coach Tom Cleverley told the Plymouth Argyle website. "He had a really good season with Morton, and we think he has great development in front of him."

"I spoke to several people I know who James has worked with, and they spoke very highly of his attitude and ability."

"It's good to have him on board."

First‑choice goalkeeper Conor Hazard and young stopper Zak Baker departed Home Park for Wycombe Wanderers and Torquay United respectively. "James is very experienced for someone of his age, and he is already a very good goalkeeper," added Argyle's director of football Derek Adams.
