Mason is from Devon but plays for Republic of Ireland youth teams

Plymouth striker Joe Mason has signed a two-year extension to his contract, keeping him at Argyle until 2012.

The 18-year-old was awarded a one-year contract last summer after spending two years with the Argyle youth team.

The Republic of Ireland Under-19 player made his Argyle debut last month in the 1-0 defeat by Sheffield United.

Plymouth boss Paul Mariner told the club website: "Joe's got a very bright future. He's been training with us for a number of weeks."

He added: "He's training very hard and whatever we throw at him he seems able to cope, and that's why he's with the first-team squad."
