Plymouth Argyle’s youngest-ever goalscorer Seb Campbell has signed his first professional deal with the club.
The 17-year-old scored on his debut in the 6-2 Vertu Trophy win over Tottenham Hotspur Under-21 aged 16 years and 279 days.
It broke a record that had stood since 1998 when Darren Bastow scored his first Argyle goal aged 37 days older in November 1998.
“It’s brilliant news for the football club,” head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon.
“It’s something that we’ve been speaking about for a while.
“He’s certainly one of the future stars of the football club, so we’re really happy to get him tied down to a professional contract.
“Now for Seb the hard work really starts, we’ll work with him to develop him and we’re all excited to do that.
“He’s got a great set of tools, goalscoring from midfield being one of them as you’ve already seen this season, and he’s on an exciting journey.
“He’s got a good head on his shoulders to make sure he fulfils that potential.”
