Liam Oakes has signed his first professional contract with the club in 2025.

The talented midfielder, who can also play on the right, will make the step up to the first team this summer after graduating from the academy, where he has played since the under-9 age group.

Liam made his first team debut for the Grecians at the start of the season against Walsall, and has gone on to make four appearances for Gary Caldwell's side. In addition to this, he's been a regular in the Premier League Cup, as the under-21s went unbeaten in the group stage with Liam scoring a belter from the edge of the box against Bristol City.

"I'm buzzing to be honest with you," said Liam shortly after signing.
