We are finally back online after server problems of the last few days!!

Hibs defender Jordon Forster has joined Plymouth Argyle on loan for the rest of the season.

As WE revealed, Plymouth jumped to the head of the queue for his signature at the end of last week, ahead of the likes of Dundee Utd, St Mirren and York City.

The 22-year-old has joined the English League two side after failing to break into the Hibees first team after his comeback from long-term injury.

Plymouth are managed by former Hibs assistant manager Derek Adams, with former Hibs striker Craig Brewster as his assistant, so both will know what Forster can do.

Hibs have offered Forster a two-year-deal, and are hopeful that he will sign it and return to Easter Road in the summer a better player.

Speaking of his move, Forster said:

"The majority of players in Scotland want to play in England, as the leagues are a lot more exciting," he told BBC Radio Devon.

"There are a lot more challenges in each league here, and there are different ways of playing.

"I had a couple of offers from Scotland and other teams in England, but Plymouth so attractive because of the chance to win a medal and get promoted."

Good luck Jordon.
