Saxon Earley Signs

Argyle have moved swiftly to add a second player to the ranks just two days into the New Year. 

After the early acquisition of Ben Waine comes the addition of Saxon Earley. Saxon is a 20-year-old left-sided wing-back, who is signing on a permanent deal, from Norwich City, for an undisclosed fee. 

Earley spent the first part of this season on loan at Stevenage, for whom he played 27 times, scoring one goal, in a Carabao Cup win away at Reading. 

Saxon earned positive reviews for his all-action performances, showing a great engine and versatility as Stevenage pushed their way to second in Sky Bet League Two.

From a family of Norwich fans, Saxon has spent many years with the club, progressing through the academy, captaining the Under-18s and Under-23 sides before heading out to Stevenage.

Argyle manager Steven Schumacher said of the signing: “We are really pleased that Saxon has joined us at Plymouth Argyle.

“He is another exciting young player that we have added to our squad that will improve our strength in depth.

“He is a player with huge potential. He is eager to learn and to develop his game, and hopefully he will enjoy working with us all at Argyle.

“Saxon has enjoyed a really successful loan spell at the top of League Two with Stevenage in the first half of this season, and we think he is ready for the step up to show what he can do in League One.

“Welcome aboard, Saxon.”

Director of Football Neil Dewsnip added: “We’re absolutely delighted that Saxon has agreed to join us, to help our promotion push for the rest of this season, and also to add value to the football club over the next few seasons as a minimum.”

Saxon has been given squad number 24. His home and away shirts are sponsored by Akkeron Group.

Welcome to Home Park, Saxon!
