Law, Craske and Pursall to Depart

Ryan Law, Finley Craske and Brandon Pursall will all be leaving Argyle at the end of the season.

The three players, who have all come through the Argyle Academy, are out of contract in June, and will depart Home Park this summer. 

The releases of these three young professionals have come ahead of the full first-team retained list, which is set to be announced next week. 

The decision to announce departures at this stage should serve to assist all three players to find new clubs at the start of a very busy summer in the transfer market. 

Decisions on senior professionals will follow the conclusion of the Sky Bet League One season, which will end following Argyle's trip to Port Vale this Sunday, where the Pilgrims could clinch the league title. 

Ryan, 23, has spent much of this season on loan at Yeovil Town and Gillingham. Prior to that, he had a spell with Torquay United. The left wing-back has been with Argyle since the age of eight, and made his EFL debut in April 2021, having previously played a handful of cup ties.

In 2021/22, he played 22 games, 14 in League One, and scored his first Argyle goal with a strike in a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. In January 2022, he scored an extra-time winner for Argyle against Sky Bet Championship side Birmingham City in the Emirates FA Cup.

Finley, 20, has played nine times for the Greens, including three substitute appearances in the league. During his time with Argyle, he has also spent time out on loan at Tiverton Town, Plymouth Parkway, Truro City and Yeovil Town.

Nineteen-year-old Brandon’s eight Argyle appearances all came in the Papa Johns Trophy, starting with his debut in September 2020, against Norwich City Under-21s, when Pursall was just 16.

Brandon has also spent time out on loan, with Plymouth Parkway and Tavistock.

Argyle Director of Football Neil Dewsnip, said: “We would like to thank Ryan, Finley and Brandon for their service to the football club, and wish them all the very best in their futures. We have opted to inform them all now to give them the best possible chance of securing a club for next season, and beyond.”

Manager Steven Schumacher said: “It has been a pleasure working with all three lads, who have shown themselves to be excellent professionals and good people. I am sure all will have a future in the game, and we wish them well.”
