The announcement came on the final day of the season that the 25-year-old midfielder had elected to move to pastures new during the summer break, and the Kassam Stadium will become the next port of call for the Exeter-born man.

The midfielder made 263 appearances and scored 23 goals in all competitions for the Grecians’ first-team since graduating from the Academy in 2007. At time of leaving, he was Exeter City’s longest-serving player.

Liam departs Exeter City with the very best wishes for the future from everyone involved in the club.
