Truro City have signed Plymouth Argyle's Wales youth international striker Luke Jephcott and Exeter City midfielder Will Dean on loan.

Jephcott, 19, has joined on an initial 28-day loan and has made 10 appearances for the Pilgrims since his debut as a substitute against Burton last October.

The forward links up with former Pilgrims assistant manager Paul Wotton, who is now Truro boss.

Dean, 18, has joined the club for a six-month spell.

He has played four Checkatrade Trophy games for Exeter.

"I've said to Luke 'now you need to kick on, play games, score loads of goals and give me a headache'," Argyle manager Ryan Lowe said.external-link

"It's only a 28-day loan but go and score as many goals in that 28 days as you possibly can.

"If you're scoring goals and you're my player, then why wouldn't I be bringing him back to be a part of the first-team? Because that's what I want."
