The 28-year-old, who was named Plymouth Argyle Player of the Year last season, has scored 21 goals from 130 appearances for the Pilgrims.<\/p>\n<p>But it was this season where the midfielder really shone. He netted 11 goals from just 36 appearances as Plymouth secured promotion from League Two following their relegation last season. He ended the season as the clubs top goalscorer.<\/p>\n<h3>Rumour Surrounding Salford City Move<\/h3>\n<p>Both Errington and manager Ryan Lowe have confirmed that League Two side Salford City have shown interest in the midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>Although it would result in the 28-year-old staying in League Two, it would locate the Manchester-born man closer to his family.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sarcevic has worked under Salford City boss Graham Alexander before. The pair were at Fleetwood Town when the midfielder scored the winning goal in the League Two playoff final against Burton Albion in 2014.<\/p>\n<h3>Ryan Lowe on Sarcevic Departure<\/h3>\n<p>Manager Lowe was told by the midfielder that he wouldn&#8217;t be renewing his contract in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pafc.co.uk\/news\/2020\/june\/contracts-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clubs official website<\/a>: \u201cWe respect Sarce\u2019s decision \u2013 it was a family decision. He wanted to get back closer to home, and we can understand that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would not have been an easy choice for him to make. We thank Sarce for the impact he had at the club, and we wish him all the best moving forward. As I have always said \u2013 if you choose move on, no problem \u2013 that\u2019s football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Qhvke8adQVhEhhYqV7Y90A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1141111362\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Qhvke8adQVhEhhYqV7Y90A',sig:'utr9s9BGbUthuaRfzz5h44FnicAREsnZjKgPTQcnunw=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1141111362',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plymouth Argyle midfielder Antoni Sarcevic is leaving the League Two club in the summer after three-and-a-half years in Cornwall.
