Polish international left-back Tymoteusz Puchacz has signed for Argyle until the end of the season.
Puchacz, who turns 26 later in January, joins on loan from German Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel. The deal comes with an option for Argyle to buy the defender at the end of his loan spell.
The Pole heads to Argyle with extensive European experience having taken in spells at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Panathinaikos, Trabzonspor and Union Berlin. He started his career in his home country with Polish giant, Lech Poznan.
Puchacz has also played 15 times for his country, including taking in two major tournaments at the UEFA 2020 and 2024 European Championships.
Argyle have beaten off several Championship rivals and European clubs for his signature and Head of Recruitment Jimmy Dickinson is delighted he has chosen to join the club.
He commented: “Tymoteusz is someone we have been aware of and monitoring for a few months.
“He comes to Argyle with an excellent record and varied experience from several big clubs throughout Europe. There was plenty of competition for his signature, but he is excited by the challenge ahead and felt Argyle was the best fit for the next stage of his career.
“He is naturally left footed, good on the ball, and consistently provides assists, so will provide good balance to the left side of defence but also add further competition for places.
“I am thrilled he has joined and look forward to seeing him in an Argyle shirt soon.”
Puchacz will wear the number 17 and be available for selection for this weekend’s Emirates FA Cup tie against Brentford should EFL and international clearance be received in time.
