Defender Danny Coles joined the club in June 2011 after the 29-year-old left Bristol Rovers.
The former Hull man made 41 appearances for the Gasheads last season, including three against the Grecians, and knows Paul Tisdale from his days as a Bristol City trainee.
He made nearly 200 appearances during his six years at Ashton Gate before making a £200,000 move to Peter Taylor's Tigers.
Loan spells followed at Hartlepool and then Rovers, a move which was permanent in January 2008.
He made his City bow against Stevenage and will wear the number 18 shirt (vacated by Billy Jones) for the new campaign.
