Sadly, Home Park legend Mickey Evans has finally called time on his playing days with Greens. After facing and defying his critics to work his way back the big time, 'Trigger' says that he wants to "go out on high".

This comes after the club has broken its overly-suspiscious media silence in order to announce their plans for next season in terms of its playing squad. The hard work and determination shown by Lee Hodges, to once again command a first-team place at Argyle, has seen him rewarded with fresh deal - when some had feared that injury would have spelled an early retirement for another starlet from Plymouth's golden era. Hodges signed for the club in 2001, is currently one of the longest-serving players and has played in almost every outfield position in that time.
The club has also confirmed that veteran French midfielder Lilian Nalis has been offered another year with the Devonshire outift, whilst the club has also been bending over backwards in attempts to tie David Norris to a contract extension. Norris has attracted a lot of attention from rival clubs and is widely-expected to be named Argyle's 'Player Of The Season' on Sunday.
Speculation is also rife over Mat Kouo Doumbe's future with the Greens, after no evidence of progress with his contract negotiations. Neither is it known whether Tony Pulis will be staying in the Westcountry. The Welshman signed a short-term contract in September of last year.
