Plymouth sign midfielder Wiredu and striker Pepple

Brendan Wiredu has spent two of the past three seasons in League One with Fleetwood Town

Plymouth Argyle have signed Fleetwood Town captain Brendan Wiredu and Luton Town forward Bim Pepple for undisclosed fees.

Wiredu, 25, scored seven goals in 123 games for Fleetwood after joining them from Colchester United three years ago.

Pepple, 22, scored 16 goals in 44 games last season during loan spells with Southend United in the National League and Chesterfield, who were defeated in the League Two play-off semi-finals in May.

Argyle have not disclosed the length of either player's contract.

Wiredu comes into an Argyle side in need of midfielders - Adam Randell moved to Bristol City last month, while Jordan Houghton rejected a new deal to join Stevenage.

The former Charlton Athletic academy graduate is Plymouth's third new signing since Tom Cleverley took over as head coach, after Xavier Amaechi and Owen Oseni also moved to Home Park.

"Brendan is a great acquisition for us," Cleverley told the club website.

"He is strong, versatile and, as evidenced by the fact he was Fleetwood's captain, a leader. It is great to have him on board."

Argyle head of football operations David Fox added: "Brendan is a player we have kept a close eye on, and he is a player who will really suit us as this moment in time.

"He is at an age where he is experienced, but still has many great years in front of him. We think he will complement us perfectly.

"Bim is physically strong, quick, powerful and has an excellent work rate. He is the kind of forward that defenders don't like playing against."
