Exeter's newest striker Barry Corr described the vital role the City management team played in bringing him to Devon after signing a one-year deal at the club.

Corr left Swindon at the end of the season and described how the pair of Steve Perryman and Paul Tisdale persuaded him Exeter was the right club for him.

"I spoke to the manager and Steve Perryman and they really sold it to me," he said.

"They really want to take the club places. There are some really good people here and I am really looking forward to getting started.

" I had a few offers but this club seems to be run the right way and the manager seemed quite ambitious.

"The manager said how he invests money in his staff and not just his players so he can get the best out of the players he has and I want to be the best I can be and do well here."

Corr has suffered from some injuries in recent years but he pinpointed Ian Andrews (City's head of sports medicine) as another reason why Exeter was the right club for him.

"Obviously I've had a bad injury record and Ian came and saw me a couple of times when I had my medical and went through a couple of exercises with me."

"He is a very good physio and it will be good to work with him.

"I hope my injuries are behind me now, Ian spoke to me and told me about injures I had before I had the chance to tell him because he could tell by my posture and things.

"So he has been working with me and he says I shouldn't have any problems so that's a big part of it for me.

Corr's new boss believes his latest signing will add something to the Grecians forward line in the coming season.

Paul Tisdale said: "He is a very good goalscorer and we believe he is a very good addition to our squad.

"He is a certain type of striker, a very good target striker. He is a player who is hungry and has something to play for which I think is very important.

"Barry hasn't played much football recently but when he does play he is mobile for a tall striker and he has got good technique and he is not limited in any areas and I think he will fit into a number of systems."

Barry Corr could make his Exeter City home debut against Tottenham Hotspur on 15^th July. For all the ticket information click here.
