Lowe told the Plymouth Herald: ‘We have got Brendan Galloway in with us. He's a left-sided defender, left wing-back. He was with us the back end of last season for a week and enjoyed it.

‘I have known Brendan since he was a kid at MK Dons. He's a fantastic lad, he has had a couple of injuries over the years.

‘We want to give the lad an opportunity to earn a contract. So we are pleased to have him on board and have him with us.
