Nigel Lonwijk Signs

Argyle have signed Nigel Lonwijk on a season-long loan deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Defender Nigel, 19, becomes the sixth acquisition of the close season, coming on board just two days before the Sky Bet League One season gets under way. 

Lonwijk had his football education at Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, but came to England in January 2020 to sign for Wolverhampton. He played 22 games last season in a loan spell with Fortuna Sittard, who play in the Dutch top division, the Eredivisie. 

Manager Steven Schumacher said: “I’m very pleased to have Nigel join us on loan from Wolves. He is a versatile defender who can play in any position in our back three.

“He is quick and aggressive in his defending and has shown good ability in possession of the ball, most notably whilst on loan last season in the Eredivisie.

“Nigel will compete and add competition to our defensive options and I’m sure he will enjoy his experience with us at Plymouth Argyle.”

The signing is subject to EFL approval. 

Nigel will wear the number 21 shirt for the 2022/23 Sky Bet League One season. His home and away shirts will be sponsored by RGB Building Supplies Torquay.

Welcome to Home Park, Nigel.
