Wes Harding signs two-year deal with Plymouth Argyle

Wes Harding, 29, signs a permanent two-year contract with Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer after Millwall released him. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Argyle from Millwall, making 15 appearances. Harding previously played 140 games for Rotherham United, joined Millwall in 2023, and also had spells at Birmingham City.

Argyle manager Tom Cleverley said, "He brings an abundance of experience, quality and leadership that we all saw during the second half of the season, helping the team improve significantly." He added, "We value what Wes will bring both on and off the pitch, which is one of the reasons we have named him as the club's vice-captain." Director of football Derek Adams said, "It is very pleasing to have another player signed up so early in the summer, and it is someone we are very familiar with, from his time with us on loan." He continued, "We all saw what Wes brought us on the field at the end of last season, when we finished so strongly, and Tom's decision to make him vice-captain shows how much he is valued in the dressing room as well."
