Brendan Galloway & Mikel Miller: Plymouth Argyle continue contract talks with defenders

Brendan Galloway has been with Plymouth Argyle since the summer of 2021

Plymouth Argyle are in talks to extend the contracts of Mikel Miller and Brendan Galloway, according to director of football Neil Dewsnip.

The defenders are out of contract in the summer and both have adapted well to the Championship after helping Argyle win League One last year.

But any decisions will be based on whether Argyle can avoid relegation.

The Pilgrims are four points clear of the drop zone with three games to go and next face struggling Stoke City.

"Negotiations have already taken place so we're well down the pathway," Dewsnip said.

"We've talked to both players, we've talked to both agents and discussions are ongoing, but there's the obvious isn't there, what league are we in?

"I think both players have done well in the Championship, they want to stay in the Championship, so would I, so I don't really foresee too many issues as long as we're in this league."

Mikel Miller was emotional after being substituted after suffering a knee injury against Leicester City on Friday

Miller will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee ligament injury in the 1-0 win over Leicester City on Friday.

The 28-year-old limped off 10 minutes before half-time, but will only be out for four to six weeks after fearing he could have suffered a long-term problem.

"I think he thought it was worse than what it has proven to be, but the scan thankfully - and four to six weeks out and missing the season is still not great - but it could've been a lot worse," Dewsnip added.

"So I think we're grateful for that, Mikel's got to dedicate himself to get back as fit as possible and be raring to go for the new season."
