Walton needs to work on his game tactically, according to his manager

Plymouth Argyle's record signing Simon Walton is to stay at Home Park after turning down the chance to join Crewe Alexandra on loan.

The 21-year-old has only made six appearances for Argyle since signing for �750,000 from QPR in August.

But manager Paul Sturrock said he has decided to stay at Argyle and fight to regain his place in the team.

"I think there's things in his game that he's going to have to change and he's agreed," he told BBC Spotlight.

He has all the credentials to be a quality player Paul Sturrock

And the Argyle boss said that Walton's early promise at Leeds United five years ago has hampered him tactically.

"Walts has been brought up as a first-team player from 16-years-old and I do feel a lack of development work has been done on him.

"He has all the credentials to be a quality player, he's proved that, but he's got to prove to me the tactical side when the other team has got the ball and also when we've got the ball."
