- Manager demands more hunger and desire to score goals.
- Cox aims to score more to secure regular first-team place.
Exeter City striker Sonny Cox is facing renewed pressure to increase his goal output after making his comeback from a significant groin injury. Cox, who was sidelined for approximately 12 weeks, recently appeared as a substitute in the team's victory over AFC Wimbledon.
Manager Gary Caldwell emphasized the need for Cox to demonstrate greater determination and consistency in scoring, stating that the young forward possesses the attributes to succeed at a higher level. Caldwell recalled a standout performance two seasons ago where Cox scored two goals but noted that such impactful displays have been too infrequent.
Cox himself acknowledged the importance of scoring and expressed his commitment to regaining match fitness and finding the back of the net to solidify his position in the squad. He faces competition for a starting role but is focused on delivering goals to advance his career.
