Boateng joins Plymouth Argyle on loan

Crystal Palace have announced via their official website that midfielder Hiram Boateng has joined Plymouth Argyle on loan.

The terms of the loan state that the 20-year-old will stay with the League Two club until the end of the season, and if they get into the playoffs, Plymouth have the option to extend the deal until the end of the campaign.

This will be Boateng’s second spell with the South Coast side this season. He made 16 appearances for them between August and October but returned to Palace early after suffering an injury. He managed to score just a single goal during that spell.

Boateng has been on the Palace bench in recent games and he played roughly 20 minutes as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City, but Alan Pardew has decided to let him go back on loan now that he has more midfielders fit and the youngster can try to help Argyle get promotion.
