Argyle Sign Mackie

Plymouth Argyle have signed Exeter City striker Jamie Mackie in a £145,000 deal.

Mackie handed in a transfer request last week and stated his intention to join Argyle and now the move has been sealed with the transfer fee set to increase depending on appearances.

The 22-year old frontman has scored 14 goals this season in the Blue Square Premier League helping Exeter into 8th position in the table.

It will be a huge jump from non-league to the Championship for Mackie but Argyle boss Paul Sturrock will see the striker as a player for the future.

Exeter’s Director of Football Steve Perryman wished Mackie good luck, he said: “We wish Jamie all the luck in the world, he is a smashing lad and wants to further his career, something all players should want.
“He feels he can play at a higher level and if he continues to work as hard as he has then he will only get better.”
