The
19-year-old will link up with former Argyle assistant-manager Paul Wotton, the
new White Tigers’ boss at Treyew Road.
A
Welsh under-19 international, Jephcott is a second-year professional at Home
Park and made his debut last season, when he became the first player born in
the 21st century to have played for the Argyle first team.
During
the early part of pre-season, Jephcott, who made several appearances for the
Pilgrims in League One last season, struggled a little bit for fitness and
form.
Having
worked intensively in the weeks that followed, though, he enjoyed a breakout
game against Buckland Athletic, bagging four goals in the Greens’ 9-3 rout of
the Toolstation Western League Premier Division outfit.
And
Plymouth manager Ryan Lowe has challenged Jephcott to use his loan move as a
springboard to force his way into first team contention at Home Park.
Lowe,
a striker himself in his EFL career, is keen to see Argyle’s young player of
the year rack up the goals that would see him rise up the pecking order for the
Pilgrims.
