Exeter City

Northampton 2 City 1

Exeter City suffered back-to-back defeats as goals from Aaron Pierre and Andy Williams condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Northampton Town.

The Grecians, who struggled to create chances in the first half, were much better after the break and pulled a goal back through Aaron Martin but couldn’t find an equaliser.

City manager Matt Taylor made four changes from the side that lost to Tranmere Rovers last time out as Jonathan Forte, Alex Hartridge, Aaron Martin and Nicky Law all came into the team at the expense of Pierce Sweeney, Randell Williams, Lee Holmes and Donovan Wilson...

City 0 Tranmere Rovers 1

Boss Matt Taylor made two changes from the side that conceded late in Tuesday night’s draw in Lincoln City, with Lee Holmes and Randell Williams returning to the starting XI over Aaron Martin and Ryan Bowman.

It was the visitors who started the brighter of the two sides, with a flurry of chances to shoot following Ben Pringle’s free-kick into a dangerous area after five minutes, but...

The Grecians claim a well earned three points

Two goals from Nicky Law either side of Jake Taylor's strike earned Exeter City a 3-1 win over MK Dons at St James Park.

The City number 8 struck early before captain Taylor furthered City's lead inside 20 minutes. The away side got back into the game through Joe Walsh just after half-time before Law then got his second when a mix up in the Dons' back line saw him finish from close range.

Exeter City sign Jaden Brown on loan until the end of the season

Exeter City have signed Huddersfield Town full-back Jaden Brown on loan until the end of the season.

The highly-rated defender has represented England at under-19 level and is known for his pace and ability to get and up and down the wing.

Speaking about the signing, City manager Matt Taylor said: “He is a dynamic left sided defender. We have got the experience of Craig Woodman and Dean Moxey who can cover that position, but this lad is going to get up and down that touchline time and time again.

“It gives me an option if I wanted to play five at the back because he...

The Grecians fall to defeat at Rodney Parade

Exeter City fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat away from home at Newport County AFC in Sky Bet League Two.

Jamille Matt's second half finish was the difference on the day where the Grecians went agonisingly close when Dara O'Shea's header was well saved and Ryan Bowman hit the crossbar.

Manager Matt Taylor made two changes to the side that began the goalless draw with Morecambe last weekend as Ryan Bowman made his first start for the club and Kane Wilson came into the side following his loan signing earlier in the week.

The first real chance of the match fell on eight...

Randell Williams joins Exeter City from Watford

Randell Williams says Exeter City’s reputation for developing and improving players was the reason he decided to put pen to paper on a permanent deal at St James Park.

The 22-year-old winger, who has spent the last year on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, joins City from Watford.

He comes with a proven track record having played six games for the Chairboys last season as they were promoted from League Two and 23 games for them this campaign in League One.

Grecians play out draw at St James Park

Exeter City were unable to make their offensive pressure pay dividends as the Grecians were forced to settle for a goalless draw against Morecambe at St James Park.

City boss Matt Taylor made one change to the starting 11, with Lee Holmes returning from injury in place of Chiedozie Ogbene.

It was an evenly-matched opening period, with the home side producing some attacking football that was very...
