Exeter City has announced the signing of wing-back Vincent Harper on a season-long loan from Walsall. This move marks a return for the 25-year-old Kenyan international, who was released by the Devon club a year ago. Harper previously spent two seasons at St James Park, registering three goals in 65 appearances before joining Walsall.
Last season, Harper was a regular for Walsall, making 37 appearances across all competitions. Exeter manager Matt Taylor highlighted Harper's familiarity with the club and its supporters, along with his existing relationships within the current squad.
Taylor further emphasized that Harper, despite his age of 25, brings valuable experience from playing in both League One and League Two. The manager anticipates Harper will add physicality and quality to the team's offensive play, particularly on the flanks, and described him as an outstanding one-on-one defender.
Harper could potentially make his second debut for Exeter City in their upcoming fixture against Grimsby Town on Saturday.
