Off on loan to Taunton Town
✍️ Jack Veale joins Taunton on loan
Exeter City can confirm that young Grecian Jack Veale has joined Southern League side Taunton Town on a six month loan.

Ellis Johnson who is also a first year pro has gone on loan to Truro which is the same level at Southern League Premier (South). I think we generally look to get our first year pro's out playing at that level although Jack Arthur is at Bideford who is a division down in SL Div 1 (South).well that puts paid to my prediction/thought that he might be on the bench for City at Orient tomorrow!
Presumably that means good news on the first team CM front (if Dieng were out long term as well as Collins and we had no signings lined up, then Veale would be not that far away from the first team 18)
Can't find details of his age on the club website, but other indications are that he's 18, turning 19 in October. That would be young to make a success at Taunton's level, but one that he seems ready for. High hopes for this move, though it may be a slow burn in the early weeks.
Shares a birthday with me then. And David Pleat. Good chap.Born 1st October 2002 according to various sources on t'interweb (and, more importantly, FM2020!)
Already looking that way. After Saturday (scoring debut in 4-1 away win as a 42nd minute sub) started on Tuesday, played 57 minutes in a 2-1 win.Lucky Taunton I reckon.
