Brendan Wiredu signs for Argyle
Argyle have signed 25-year-old Brendan Wiredu for an undisclosed fee, from Fleetwood Town.
Primarily a midfielder, but with the ability to play in central defence and full-back as well, Wiredu joins the Pilgrims following three seasons with Fleetwood, with whom he rose to the role of captain.
London-born Brendan came through the academy of Charlton Athletic, and had loan spells with Bromley and Colchester United, before departing The Valley in February 2021, bound for Colchester on a permanent basis.
Two seasons of playing regularly in Essex caught the eye of Fleetwood, who paid six figures to tempt Brendan out of the South East for the first time. He has played regularly over three seasons on the Fylde coast, the first two in League One, and is now set for his next challenge.
“Brendan is a great acquisition for us,” said Argyle Head Coach Tom Cleverley. “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.”
Brendan will wear the number 4 shirt. The deal is subject to EFL approval.
