Exeter City to release new third kit for 2017/18 season

Exeter City will proudly wear the current home and away shirts for the 2017/18 season, with a new third kit to be added.

Chelsea sign Exeter City teenager Ethan Ampadu

Exeter City are currently in negotiations with Chelsea over a fee for Ethan Ampadu after the 16-year-old put pen to paper on a deal at Stamford Bridge.

Ethan, who made 13 appearances for City’s first team last season, was free to talk to other clubs having yet to sign scholarship forms at St James Park.

As a result, there is no transfer fee. However, being a product of the Exeter City Academy, and under the age of 24, the Grecians are entitled to compensation and it is hoped that a fee for that can be agreed between Chelsea and Exeter City without the need to go to a...
