Millwall boss Neil Harris labelled the signing of Plymouth Argyle winger Gregg Wylde as a “statement of intent”.

Wylde became the Lions’ third signing of the summer on Saturday following the deals to bring midfielder David Worrall and defender Shaun Hutchings to the Den.

An energetic winger who has previously played for Rangers and Scotland U21s, Wylde made over 50 appearances last season as Argyle reached the League Two play-off final.

Wylde impressed against Millwall in a Football League Trophy clash in November and Harris revealed the club sent scouts to track his progress over the course of the season.

The Lions boss said: “Gregg came to light last year when we played down there in the JPT and he gave us a bit of a torrid time for the first half hour.

“We watched him another seven or eight times and every time he was highly recommended. He is an out and out left winger, likes to get down the flank and get crosses into the box.

“He is an old fashioned type of player who Millwall fans will enjoy watching.

“It is great to have him on board and is a statement of intent because I want attacking players on the pitch.”

Millwall finished fourth last season, surpassing the 80-point mark, before being beating by Barnsley in the play-off final at Wembley.

They scored 73 goals during the regular campaign – the third most in the league – with strike partners Steve Morison and Lee Gregory both enjoying excellent seasons.

And Harris insists the arrival of Wylde bolsters his attacking options for next season.

“I felt at times last year maybe we did not have as much of an attacking potent threat coming off the bench that I wanted and we relied quite heavily on Aiden [O'Brien] to be that lone threat,” he said.

“Bringing in a couple more attacking players in David Worrall and Gregg won't harm opportunities young players have as they can slide into positions left by other people who left the club.

“I am delighted with our attacking options, we have players who can create goals and score them.”
