Matt Butcher: Wycombe sign midfielder following Plymouth release

Matt Butcher made 18 appearances for Plymouth this season, including 15 in the Championship

Wycombe Wanderers have signed midfielder Matt Butcher following his release by Plymouth Argyle.

The 26-year-old made 66 appearances for Argyle and was a member of their League One title-winning side last season.

He began his career in the Bournemouth youth set-up before spending two years with Accrington Stanley.

Butcher is Wycombe's second January transfer-window signing following the arrival of former Burton Albion forward Beryly Lubala on Tuesday.

The permanent deal was announced at half-time in their Bristol Street Motors Trophy quarter-final win against Brighton Under-21s.

"With the success we had last year (at Plymouth), I was itching to continue that but obviously didn't play a great deal at the start of the season," Butcher told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"That was on my mind after playing so much (last season) and wanted to come to a place where it was a similar sort of feeling, with a similar sort of people, and the togetherness and group ethic is very similar.

"That was a massive driving force in terms of me joining and hopefully we can climb the table before the end of the season."
