Chelsea’s Jordan Houghton joins Plymouth on loan

League Two promotion chasers Plymouth Argyle have signed midfielder Jordan Houghton on loan from Chelsea until the end of May.

Although he has never made a first team appearance for the Premier League side, Houghton has been capped by England Under 20 team and spent time on loan with Gillingham this season.

Plymouth manager Derick Adams expressed his delight at signing the 20-year-old, telling the club’s official website,

“Jordan’s a central midfield player; right-sided, good on the ball; a good passer. He can score goals; create chances.

“He’s 6ft and 20 years of age and looking to move his career on at Chelsea. It gives him the benefit of coming here and trying to get some first-team football. He will probably have looked at the likes of Boateng, Threlkeld and Tanner, who are younger players like himself, and have all come in and benefited from that.

“He’s played for England at a number of age levels, right up to Under-20. To be in the system at Chelsea from a young age is obviously beneficial to him. This is just the next stage in his progression to try to make the Chelsea first-team one day.”

Plymouth are currently sitting in 3rd place in League Two, six points clear of fourth placed Portsmouth. Adams’ side face a trip to Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
