Overview
- Scully completed a move to Exeter City on Saturday after spending the summer at the Professional Footballers’ Association free‑agent programme to keep match fit.
- Hours after being unveiled he started for Exeter and scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory that ended the club’s recent scoring drought and secured an early League Two win.
- Reports differ on the length of his contract, with some outlets saying he signed until the end of the season and others reporting a three‑year deal.
- Scully said his release from Shrewsbury Town over the summer came as a shock after a one‑year spell in which he made 35 appearances, scored five goals and had injury problems.
- Manager Matt Taylor praised Scully’s energy and experience and said the club will manage his workload during a phased return, a move that could add composure to a young Exeter squad and help steady their early campaign.
