Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley says Matthew Sorinola's positive attitude could be enough to force his way into the starting line-up.

The 25-year-old full-back came off the bench to feature in Monday's 2-0 Carabao Cup first round win over Exeter City.

The former Union St Gilloise and Milton Keynes Dons defender impressed as he featured in the final quarter of Argyle's victory over their Devon rivals.

"It should be a given, but I do love when someone is determined to get in the team rather than sulks that they're not in the team," Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon ahead of Saturday's League One opener against Stockport County.

"I thought the way he trained, the way he came on made a really positive impact.

"It was a determination to say, 'I want to start, I wan,t to be one of the first names on the teamsheet'.

"So that's the response to maybe sitting out on a big game, a good example for the rest of the squad that that's how you respond and he's given himself every chance of potentially starting on Saturday."
