Ollie's story:

One of the most promising prospects to come out of the Grecians' academy in recent years, Ollie made his debut for the club back in 2014.

The next couple of seasons saw him find his feet in first team football before he announced his true arrival in the 2015/16 season.

Claiming nine goals in the campaign, his best and most remembered by City fans came in April 2016 when he scored a remarkable goal from the edge of the box to help City to a 2-1 win in the Devon derby against Plymouth Argyle.

His career would go from strength to strength the following season as he helped City to Wembley with 16 goals in 52 appearances playing in a front three alongside David Wheeler and Reuben Reid.

The Championship came calling at the end of the 2017/18 season when he was picked up by Brentford where he has continued to impress.
