He returned to England with a loan spell at Scunthorpe United in November 2000, finally leaving Dundee in August 2001 when he joined Plymouth Argyle on a short-term contract. He scored on his Plymouth debut, in a 3–1 win at home to Swansea City. However, he struggled with injuries and left Home Park in November the same year.
