Exeter City's young striker James Norwood has joined Ryman League Premier Division Sutton United on a one month loan deal.

Norwood has made four appearances the Grecians included a memorable substitute appearance at Elland Road for his first ever appearance in professional football.

Exeter's number 31 broke his scoring duck for the Reserves in their last match against Salisbury and he has caught the eye with some impressive performances.

He is expected to make his debut for his new side away at Bognor Regis Town on Saturday.

This isn't the first time a speedy City forward has been loaned to Sutton. Former striker Jamie Mackie went to Surrey for a similar length spell in 2005 during his first season at St James Park.

Mackie scored two goals in five appearances and went on to make 25 appearance in the 05/06 season.

Mackie also spent a spell on loan at Sutton

Norwood, a former England Schools player, had been on trial with the Grecians before being official signed in July.

A branch of the Exeter City Supporters' Trust created a fund with the specific intention of signing players and members of the '19/31 Fund' will each pay £19 per month towards the cost of Norwood's wages.

Norwood previously plied his trade at Eastbourne Town and he scored 96 goals in 54 games for both Eastbourne and England Schools.
