Exeter sign three on deadline day

Exeter City have signed defender Jack Taylor on loan from Stevenage for the rest of the season, and added strikers Danny Rose and Ajay Matthews.

Centre-back Taylor, 21, joined Boro from Sutton United in January and made his debut in their League Cup defeat by Reading last month.

"We are short in the centre-half department currently and he is a fantastic size with a great profile and did really well to break through at Sutton United to earn a move to League One level," said Grecians boss Matt Taylor, external.

Exeter have also brought in 20-year-old Matthews on a season-long loan from Championship side Millwall, while 32-year-old Rose has signed a two-year deal after joining from National League side Barrow.

Rose has made more than 400 career appearances and scored more than 100 goals during a career that has also included spells with Barnsley, Bury, Mansfield Town, Northampton Town, Stevenage and Grimsby Town.
