Exeter City's Tom Dean has joined Truro City on loan from Exeter City until January 2027. This is Dean's second temporary spell with Exeter City after a similar arrangement last season. Dean, the younger brother of Truro stalwart Will, moves across the Tamar on loan from St James Park. He has played seven times for Truro in the National League and featured for the Grecians against Truro last month in a friendly match at the TCS, which the home side won by a single Tyler Harvey goal.
What happened?
Dean told trurocity.co.uk, "I'm really excited to get started. I came here at the back end of last season and although it didn't go the way we wanted, there is now an opportunity to put that right. I know most of the lads here already and when there were whispers of me coming down here again, I was really keen to come. This is a good opportunity to get more minutes in men's football in the bank and although I played a few games here last season and a few with Exeter, it wasn't as many as I wanted. I will try and come here, to play in a good standard, to try and cement a place in the team. Overall, I am really looking forward to it."
