EXETER CITY IN OPPOSITION
ONE TO WATCH: MATT JAY
Born in Torbay, Devon, Matt Jay joined
Exeter City as a youngster and progressed
through the club’s academy and into the
first-team.
He made his debut for the Grecians in
September 2013, appearing in a 2-0 loss
to Wycombe Wanderers in the Football
League Trophy.
After a handful of appearances in Exeter’s
first-team, Jay spent time away from the
club on loan. He had three separate loan
spells, all in the Vanarama National South,
for Weston-super-Mare, Hayes & Yeading
United, and Truro City.
