He has played five times for Leeds since moving to the club from Manchester City in the summer of 2022.
He is the second player to move to Plymouth this week after Tottenham central defender Ashley Phillips also joined the club on loan.
"I have been aware of Darko's qualities for a number of years after his performances as a young player in the England pathway," Foster told the
"He played an age group up in the Under-20 World Cup in Argentina which shows his qualities and he has great ability to link the play from midfield to attack.
"He has the athleticism to drive forward both with the ball and without it, and also has a real knack of arriving into the box late.
"Alongside that he is also a lovely character and personality so he will fit in really well within the group.
"He was so excited to join and couldn't get down here quick enough. I am equally excited about seeing him in an Argyle shirt."
