Chelsea’s Jordan Houghton joins Plymouth on loan

promotion chasers have signed midfielder Jordan Houghton on loan from until the end of May.

Although he has never made a first team appearance for the side, Houghton has been capped by Under 20 team and spent time on loan with 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 . 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 . Adams’ side face a trip to on Saturday.
