Anthony Scully Signs Short-Term Deal With Exeter City

Reuniting with Michael Appleton after a shock release from Shrewsbury, Scully said Exeter offers the best chance to revive his career in his peak years.

Overview

Scully has joined Exeter City on a contract that runs until the end of the season after spending the summer as a free agent.
He said the decision by Shrewsbury to release him came as a shock and noted he made 35 appearances last season with five goals and two assists.
Scully credited roughly 10 weeks at the Professional Footballers’ Association free-agent camp with keeping him match-ready and helping him attract offers.
The move reunites Scully with manager Michael Appleton, who previously gave him regular game time at Lincoln City and made 98 appearances under him.
Short one-year deals and summer releases leave players vulnerable at this level, so Scully will need careful workload management as he aims to reach his peak while proving fitness after injury-hit periods at Shrewsbury.
