Exeter City striker Sonny Cox just can't wait for the pre-season matches to start, as the Grecians complete their third week of training ahead of the 26/27 EFL Sky Bet League Two season.
Speaking after a tough session in the Friday heat, Sonny said: "It's been really good so far. We all got warned that it's going to be a really tough, pre-season, and that was definitely not a lie!
"It's been tough, especially with the heat, but the lads have all come back really fit and did really well in the first week of, testing and then a few running sessions.
"In the double sessions, the first session is the really tough one with running and stuff. And then we've got to switch our minds on in the more tactical based second session, and obviously that's like peak, peak heat at around two in the afternoon.
City kick-off their pre-season match schedule away at Truro City on Saturday, July 18 and Sonny can't wait to get back out there.
"The games are are the main part of it. That's where you gain the proper match fitness - whether it's 30 minutes, or a half of football. So, we'll be preparing next week, for the game on Saturday. We're really looking forward to see the fans again and to be back on the pitch playing
