The sought-after midfielder has pledged his future to the Pilgrims and will officially join up subject to ratification from the relevant football authorities.

He has stepped away from professional football to take up a coaching role within the Stags' youth system and will combine that with playing part-time for the Pilgrims.

United boss Adam Murray was understandably delighted to get his man and said: "He had offers from League 2 clubs but has chosen a pathway that leads him to choose a part-time option now.

"He's a leader of men with fantastic experience and I am over the moon he choose us to move forward with his journey."

McGuire has previous extensive experience with Fleetwood Town during their rapid ascent through the divisions.
