Greens on Screen started its life in 1999 before many of the football sites that we are familiar with today, including Plymouth Argyle's own official site. Greens on Screen is dedicated to the sights, sounds and history of Plymouth Argyle Football club. It is owned and run by the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive, a charity dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and display of the heritage of our great football club.

The site owes its existence to Steve Dean. Without Steve's dedication and commitment for over 25 years, GoS would not exist and be the valued and loved resource for all football fans that it is today. The site is truly the envy of many clubs, and we owe a huge debt to Steve for his tireless work, and continued support behind the scenes.

Greens on Screen's first page was published in January 1999. Its early purpose was to bring Plymouth Argyle a little closer to those unable to see their team, and whilst it has changed a great deal over the years, its core themes - sights and sounds for Westcountry exiles - still stand. The site was very lucky to take on the content of Trevor Scallan's Semper Viridis in the summer of 2007, and in 2009 launched GoS-DB, a wealth of facts and figures from PAFC's history. A year later, we embarked on a complete history of Argyle, with much-valued contributions from chapter authors. Greens on Screen was taken over by its new custodians, The Argyle Archive, in 2024.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by a team of volunteers from the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive (Argyle Archive). Without the hard work and much-valued contributions of these volunteers, running the site would not be possible. Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky.

Greens on Screen remains advertisement free, which means we are grateful for the generous support of our donors and the work of our volunteers to help keep it free of promotions. If you would like to support the work of Greens on Screen, please consider donating to the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive.

GoS's sole aim is to be a service to fellow supporters, and we look forward to continuing to celebrate Argyle'ss history for many years to come.

ALEX HARTRIDGE

Full Name: Alex Duncan Hartridge

Born: 09 March 1999

Came from: Unattached Went to:

Appearances: 0 (0/0) Goals: 0

Born in Torquay and a left-sided central defender, he began his career with Exeter City, turning professional in April 2017.

He made his senior debut for City in November 2017, in the Football League Cup, and then his debut in the Football League, a little over a year later in December 2018.

Spending eight seasons in total with the Grecians, he played 154 times for the club, scoring four goals. Six of those season were in League Two, the last two were in League One and it was the final four seasons in which he made the majority of his appearances in red and white. He also picked up a League Two runner-up medal for the 2021-22 season as Exeter moved up a league. Earlier on in his City career he had a remarkable five loan spells with Truro City and three with Bath City both in the National League South.

In total he played 43 times and scored once for Truro and played 32 times and scored twice for Bath. Beyond those loans spells and having established himself in the side for the last four seasons of his stay at St James Park, in March 2024 his departure from the club was announced, having rejected the offer of a new contract.

In May 2024 it was announced that he would sign for Wycombe Wanderers from the start of July 2024. However, he struggled to settle in fully to their 2024-25 season League One side and only made 14 appearances before returning to Exeter City on loan, making a further 18 appearances and scoring once, also in League One.

Returning to his parent club Wycombe at the end of his loan in September 2025, he then signed for fellow League One club Burton Albion on a one-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

In the 2025-26 season he played 42 times for the Brewers, scoring three goals in their League One season as they successfully staved off relegation.

In early June he was unveiled as Argyle's first summer signing for the 2026-27 season, returning to Devon to join the club on a two-year deal.
