“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Exeter City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Exeter City promote Henry Reid from within

Exeter City promote Stephen White from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stephen White has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
