Scully Leaves Exeter For Crawley

Tony Scully has left Exeter City at the end of his loan spell, and has moved on loan to Crawley Town until January.

Notts County recalled winger Scully from St James Park to farm him out to Crawley after they expressed an interest in sealing a permanent deal. Scully scored three goals in 13 appearances for Exeter and manager Alex Inglethorpe had hoped to seal a permanent deal after Notts County indicated that they were keen to offload the player.

Gudjon Thordarson told nottscountyfc.co.uk: "Scully attracted some interest from Crawley so we decided to recall him to allow him to move there for a month before the transfer window closes for loan signings. It is a chance for him to earn himself something down there on a permanent basis with the loan a view to one. It is another chance to get some first team action under his belt and I wish him well,"

Crawley Town general manager Paul Hobbs told Crawley's Official Website: "We are delighted to have someone of Tony's calibre on board. He has been one of the stars of the season so far for Exeter and we are pleased to have him at Crawley Town. This is a great coup for Crawley and ranks up there with our signing earlier in the season when Daryl Clare joined the club. We will continue to bring in quality players like Scully and Clare and hope to add to the team further in January."

The move leaves Exeter without two of their regular forward players for Saturday's match at Edgar Street, with Lee Phillips banned after being dismissed last week.
