Plymouth Argyle goalkeeper Zak Baker has agreed a one-year contract extension.

The 20-year-old is a product of the Pilgrims' academy and has been with the club for nine years.

He is still yet to make a senior appearance, featuring on the bench five times this season, most recently against Burnley in January, but has since been sidelined with a knee injury.

"Yeah, I'm absolutely buzzing," Baker told the club website, external. "This is my third professional contract which shows I am doing the right things.

"I am really enjoying working with the group of goalkeepers we currently have. I obviously worked with Conor [Hazard] last year, but Daniel Grimshaw has come in as well and added a lot.

"He has been around some of the best goalkeepers in the world so there is plenty to pick his brain on to help my development.

"I'm looking forward to getting back fit and continuing to grow and learn from the other goalkeepers and Darryl [Flahavan, goalkeeper coach]."
