Donnelly has scored 19 league goals this season and 36 in all competitions

Plymouth have signed striker George Donnelly from Unibond League side Skelmersdale for an undisclosed fee.

The 20-year-old, who had been playing in the First Division North, has agreed terms with the club and will now join old team-mate Craig Noone.

Donnelly, a former warehouse worker, is very happy with the big transition: "It feels great not to have to worry about work and just do what I love doing.

"My pace has probably got me this far, I am excited to help the team."

"I have watched these players on TV but I feel I can do well once I get the fitness from the full-time training. I want to play a few reserve games and work my way up," Donnelly added.

The youngster, who has scored 36 goals this season, turned down a move to Scunthorpe.
