Bim Pepple signs for Argyle
Argyle have signed another forward, with the acquisition of 22-year-old Bim Pepple, from Luton Town, for an undisclosed fee.
Born in England, Pepple’s family moved to Canada when he was young, and hence Bim grew up in the youth system of Calgary Foothills FC. He also played in the Canadian Premier League with Calgary-based side Cavalry FC, before heading to Europe.
After a year in the under-19 team at Getafe, Bim headed back to Cavalry for a brief spell. His goalscoring exploits – six goals in seven – attracted the attention of Luton Town, who were in the Sky Bet Championship at the time.
Whilst a Hatter, Bim had loans with Grimsby Town, Bromley and Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Then, at the start of 2024/25, he moved to Southend United on loan, in the Vanarama National League, and hit serious form.
The 11 goals Pepple scored with Southend, in 23 games, saw him recalled by Luton, and sent to Chesterfield, in League Two. With the Spireites, he again impressed, scoring five goals from 15 starts and six substitute appearances.
Argyle Head Coach Tom Cleverley said: “It’s great to have Bim on board, to add to our forward options. He had an excellent campaign last season, scoring lots of goals and contributing wherever he played.
“We are confident he will be an asset for us this, and we look forward to working with him to make him an even better player.”
Head of Football Operations David Fox added: “Bim is a player with a similar profile, in some ways, to Owen Oseni, who joined us last week. He is physically strong, quick, powerful and has an excellent work rate. He is the kind of forward that defenders don’t like playing against, and we think that we can develop him further.
“He will join our team of front players that already include Owen and Joe Hatch, which we will still look to add strength to, as we ensure we have a group of strikers who will complement each other, bringing different strengths to the table.”
Bim will wear the number 27 shirt, and his transfer is subject to EFL approval.
