BEN Purrington will continue his comeback from injury...

...when Argyle visit Buckland Athletic in the quarter-final of the Edenvale Turf Ltd Devon St Luke’s Challenge Cup on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old defender returned from several weeks out of action because of a broken wrist to play in Saturday's FA Cup second-round defeat at Sheffield United.

Now, his attention turns to the last eight of the county competition at Homers Heath, Newton Abbot.

Four other Pilgrims who have played for the first team this season are included in the Argyle squad for the game against the Toolstation Western League Premier Division side which kicks off at 7pm - River Allen, Jason Banton, Aaron Bentley and Ollie Norburn.

Argyle won through to this stage of the competition through a 4-1 win at Exmouth Town, in which Deane Smalley scored a hat-trick.

Argyle (v Buckland Athletic, Homers Heath, 7.30pm): River Allen, Jason Banton, Aaron Bentley, James Bittner (gk), Jack Calver, Callum Hall, Corey Harvey (gk), Mason Hughes, Ryan Lane, Tom Moxham, Ollie Norburn, Billy Palfrey, Ben Purrington, Louis Rooney, Will Sargent, Jason Vincent.
