Loan star Alex Fletcher is on his way back to the National League
Aldershot completed a loan move for Plymouth Argyle striker Alex Fletcher in the final hours before the transfer window for English Football League clubs closed.
The 20-year-old could make his debut for the 19th-placed Shots when they host Barrow in the National League on Saturday after completing an initial one-month switch in the final hours before Monday’s 5pm deadline for permanent deals and loans.

Academy graduate Fletcher has not made a first team appearance for the Pilgrims under Ryan Lowe this season and was an unused substitute for the club’s 4-2 Carabao Cup second round defeat by Reading at Home Park last Tuesday.
After the deal was announced on Tuesday morning, Fletcher could feature in home games against Wrexham and Yeovil Town, as well as trips to Stockport County and Chesterfield.
Fletcher made his first team debut at home for the Pilgrims in the FA Cup in a 0–0 draw with Newport County, on as a 79th-minute substitute for Craig Tanner.
The Shots welcomed Fletcher in a statement on the club’s website. “The Newton Abbot-born forward will be hoping to make an instant impact with the Shots as both he and the squad look ahead to this Saturday’s home game against Barrow and will wear the number 29 shirt,” said the club.
