Nicky Law leaving Grecians for US

-

NICKY Law is set to leave Exeter City to pursue a playing and coaching opportunit­y with USL club Indy Eleven in the United States.

The midfielder, one of manager Matt Taylor’s first signings at the club when he joined in the summer of 2018, has made 106 appearance­s in red and white, scoring 20 goals.

But the 32-year-old has played his final game for the Grecians and will leave to join Indy Eleven today.

Manager Matt Taylor said that the club were disappoint­ed to lose him, but it was an offer that he couldn’t turn down.

Taylor said: “This is a great opportunit­y not only for Nicky but also for his family.

“We are extremely disappoint­ed to be losing him but he is rightly thinking about the latter stages of his career. It was an offer he simply couldn’t turn down because the coaching opportunit­ies over in America are second to none.

“He has been a huge influence at this club and everyone who has seen him play will see how much of an impact he’s made.

“Ever since he joined we’ve seen his quality. Nicky has contribute­d to so many key moments in games during his time with us. When the team has needed something extra then Nicky has delivered. You can see why he’s played at a higher level because he has the ability to do things with a football that not many at this level can.

“We are certainly grateful to him for his efforts here and we wish him all the very best.”
