Defender David Worrel is going on loan to English Third Division outfit Plymouth Argyle for three months. Argyle, of course, are managed by ex-Tannadice boss Paul Sturrock who signed the player for United from Blackburn Rovers.
A former captain of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 side, David was plucked from Rovers reserves by Sturrock and impressed many with his diligent defending in his five outings for United before the end of Season 1998/99. He gained considerable first team experience throughout 1999/00 but injuries interrupted his progress during the 2000/01 season and the loan arrangement provides him with a chance to gain more first-team experience.
