Argyle name Martyn Starnes as new Chief Executive

Martyn Starnes has been named as the new Chief Executive of Plymouth Argyle.

The 58-year-old arrives at Home Park from West Country rivals Yeovil Town where he served as chief executive for more than five years.

Argyle owner and chairman James Brent told the club's website: “My fellow directors and I are delighted to welcome Martyn to Plymouth Argyle.

“Martyn brings years of experience in running football clubs and has demonstrated that, even for a club which has a much smaller fanbase than Argyle, financial prudence can be combined with league success.

“We are confident that Martyn will leverage the additional revenues anticipated from the new grandstand to support John Sheridan in moving Argyle back up the Football League. It is a measure of Martyn's confidence in Argyle that he has decided to join us from a newly promoted Championship club.

“I look forward to the new season with enthusiasm and excitement.”
