Sturrock looks to retain loan players

Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock is hoping to retain some of the loan players who have been a success at Home Park this season.

Sturrock's five loan signings include 13-goal top scorer Paul Gallagher and winger Alan Judge, from Blackburn, Manchester United defenders Craig Cathcart and David Gray and Crystal Palace midfielder Carl Fletcher.

"I wouldn't rule out any of them coming back next season," Sturrock admitted. "It's something I am now going to look into very quickly."

He added: "I'm hoping to pick up meetings with the managers who have helped me out this year and other Premier League managers next week."
