Having turned down a move to Exeter City in the 2000-01 close season, Michael Meaker continued to find it difficult to break into the Bristol Rovers first team and had to be content with occasional outings in the squad.

He subsequently joined Plymouth Argyle in February where he featured more regularly although often being used from the subs' bench.

He scored his first goal for the Pilgrims when he netted in the 1-1 draw at Leyton Orient in April.

Michael is a right-sided attacking midfield player with some tricky skills on the ball.

Michael was appointed assistant player-manager during 2011-2012 season for Yate Town.
