Jay Matete: Sunderland midfielder joins Plymouth Argyle on loan

Plymouth Argyle have signed midfielder Jay Matete from Sunderland on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old becomes the fourth player to move to the League One leaders in the January transfer window.

Matete was a deadline-day signing for the Black Cats a year ago when he left Fleetwood Town to sign a four-and-a-half year deal at the Stadium of Light.

He has made eight appearances in the Championship for the Wearside club this season.

"I am delighted that Jay Matete has agreed to join us at Plymouth Argyle," Argyle manager Steven Schumacher told the club website.
