Japanese star joins Argyle on trial

Thursday, December 11, 2008, 13:24

JAPANESE midfielder Akihiro Ienaga has started a trial with Plymouth Argyle.

The 22-year-old saw the Pilgrims' 1-0 defeat by Birmingham City at Home Park on Tuesday night, after arriving in the city the previous night.

Ienaga will be training with Argyle until next Thursday, according to manager Paul Sturrock.

The versatile midfielder has spent most of his career at Gamba Osaka, but has recently been on loan to their J-League rivals Oita Trinita.

Ienaga has played once for the Japanses national team.

He was an 85th minute substitute for Keita Suzuki, another player who Argyle have been linked with, in a 2-0 win against Peru in a friendly in Yokohama.

Argyle added Japanese businessman Yasuaki Kagami to their board of directors in April. And they followed that up by naming former Japanese international footballer Yasuhiko Okudera as the club president.
