The 20 year old is a Republic of Ireland U21 international. He has recently signed a loing term contract at Ewood Park and this move is hoped to see him get some regular first team football.
"We need a freshness in midfield and he can play several positions in there," Sturrock told the Pilgrims' official website.
"We've had him watched several times. He is a livewire, box-to-box type player. He is very similar to David Norris in that he is a pocket dynamo.
"He comes into the squad for Saturday (against Ipswich). I will have a look at him in training and decide overnight.
"He is very hungry for the challenge and I have taken him as an offensive player to come from midfield and support the front two."
