Plymouth Argyle have signed Fleetwood Town captain Brendan Wiredu for an undisclosed fee.
Argyle have not disclosed the length of the 25-year-old midfielder’s contract at Home Park – he had 12 months left on his deal at the Cod Army.
He scored seven goals in 123 games for Fleetwood after joining them from Colchester United three years ago.
Wiredu comes into an Argyle side in need of midfielders – Adam Randell moved to Bristol City last month while Jordan Houghton rejected a new deal to join Stevenage.
The former Charlton Athletic academy graduate is Plymouth’s third new signing since Tom Cleverley took over as manager, after Xavier Amaechi and Owen Oseni also moved to Home Park.
“Brendan is a great acquisition for us,” Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley told the club website.
“He is strong, versatile and, as evidenced by the fact he was Fleetwood’s captain, a leader. It is great to have him on board.”
Argyle head of football operations David Fox added: “Brendan is a player we have kept a close eye on, and he is a player who will really suit us as this moment in time.
“He is at an age where he is experienced, but still has many great years in front of him. We think he will complement us perfectly.”
