Damien Johnson has revealed he joined Plymouth because he feels the Pilgrims are going places despite their current position.

The Northern Ireland international completed his move from St Andrews on deadline day for an undisclosed fee and has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Plymouth.

The 31-year-old goes straight into the squad for Saturday's game against West Brom and says he believes he can help keep the Pilgrims up before moving onto bigger things.

"I just sense that there could be something good going on down here," Johnson told The Herald , who also paid tribute to Plymouth boss Paul Mariner for persuading him to join the club.

"I came down here not really sure, but to be honest it couldn't have gone any better.

"Everyone's been very welcoming - it's been a very nice couple of days."

"It was a tough decision to leave Birmingham - I'd been there a long time and really enjoyed it.

"Sometimes, though, you need to move on and now is definitely that time.

"This is a fresh challenge for me. I'm here to play games."
