Both players had been enjoying excellent seasons until the curtailment. They both helped Plymouth secure an immediate return to League One.<\/p>\n<h2>Scott Wootton and Conor Grant Sign New Deals at Plymouth Argyle<\/h2>\n<h3>Wootton Rewarded for an Excellent Season<\/h3>\n<p>Scott Wootton initially joined the Pilgrims in 2018 but injuries hampered his first season. He couldn\u2019t help Plymouth avoid relegation to League Two.<\/p>\n<p>However, the former Milton Keynes Dons defender has played an integral role in their promotion campaign this season. Wootton made 34 appearances as he helped the Pilgrims secure an instant return to League One.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pafc.co.uk\/news\/2020\/june\/scott-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking about Wootton\u2019s new deal<\/a>, manager Ryan Lowe said \u201cI\u2019m delighted that Scotty will be with us again next season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year was a big one for him personally after the disappointment of the previous campaign but he showed plenty of leadership quality and is a big presence in the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s back in League One now and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing him continue his good recent form for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Conor Grant Also Rewarded for an Excellent Season<\/h3>\n<p>Like Wootton, midfielder Conor Grant also endured a difficult first season at Home Park. Grant joined Plymouth in 2018 after a decade at first club Everton. Injuries hampered his first season and like Wootton, he couldn\u2019t help Plymouth avoid relegation.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has played an integral role this season as Plymouth secured promotion. He made 21 appearances, scoring two goals including a brilliant strike against Mansfield Town which started Plymouth\u2019s promotion charge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pafc.co.uk\/news\/2020\/june\/grant-re-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking about Grant\u2019s new deal<\/a>, manager Ryan Lowe said \u201cWe\u2019re pleased for Conor, and delighted that he has signed on to stay at Argyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConor has good technical ability, which we saw in spells last season. He now has an opportunity to push on and bring up his level of consistency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe played his best football for Doncaster Rovers in League One, and I am hoping that he can fulfil his potential now we&#8217;re back there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"7u0bOtdqSElauOxJt6OErQ\" 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\/1194539086\" 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:'7u0bOtdqSElauOxJt6OErQ',sig:'UqZjmNH2jZhSgbOvHtuL7MBTsybfIH8LUDCoszqpbMk=',w:'594px',h:'393px',items:'1194539086',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>Scott Wootton and Conor Grant have signed new deals at Plymouth Argyle.
