WATKINS EXCITED AT PRO DEAL

OLLIE Watkins cannot wait to pull on an Exeter shirt next season after signing a twoyear deal with the Grecians – his first professional contract..

The 18-year-old has starred for City’s title-winning under-18 team this season, but is yet to make a first team appearance.

When he does though, he knows he will need to adapt his game as he makes the step up.

“It is a big step from the youth team to the first team and playing with men. The physical side of the game is the biggest thing,” he said.

“I would like to bulk up a bit and get a bit more physical and I just can’t wait to get going.”
