We are delighted to announce that midfielder Taylor Perry has put pen to paper and signed for Exeter City to become the third signing of the summer transfer window.
Taylor has made the move to EX4 on a two year deal after departing fellow EFL Sky Bet League Two side Shrewsbury Town at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
A 25-year-old, Taylor joins the Grecians after amassing over 180 appearances in EFL Sky Bet League One and Two. Taylor is an energetic box-to-box midfielder who likes to get around the pitch and play, with a keen eye to contribute high up the pitch with assists and goals to help the team.
A product of the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy, Taylor made his first-team debut in September 2019 as a substitute in the club's Carabao Cup victory against Reading. He had been involved in the team's pre-season tour of China that summer, finding himself scoring in the decisive penalty shootout against Manchester City in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy.
August 2021 saw Perry sign for Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan shortly before netting his first senior professional goal. The follwowing season, he returned to The EV Charger Points Stadium on another season-long loan before calling his time with Wolverhampton Wanderers and opting to join Shrewsbury Town where by the end of the 2025/26 season he had made over 130 appearances.
When asked about Taylor's move to St James Park, Exeter City manager Matt Taylor said; "Taylor is a capable box-to-box midfielder who is as equally skilled at attacking as he is defending. We're getting him in the right stage of his career, he turned 25 on Wednesday and we certainly see his best football ahead of him."
"We hope that his move to Exeter City will fulfil his potential as a player, and look forward to the prospect of him providing competition for the midfield positions on the pitch and adding a new dimension to our game."
Everybody at Exeter City welcomes Taylor with open arms, wishing him the very best of luck in the prestigious red & white.
