Exeter Get £150,000 Player Windfall

Exeter have been given a boost after a transfer tribunual decided two sides should pay £150,000 up front for two players taken from Exeter's youth side.

Jamie Hatch left Exeter for Southampton, and Mark Ellis joined Bolton. The tribunual has decided that Southampton must pay £60,000 up front for Hatch, with Bolton paying £90,000 for Ellis.

Both decisions have a number of additional trigger payments, and the two transfers could net Exeter over £900,000 plus sell-on clauses. Neither player featured in Exeter's first team, but both were registered to Exeter's Centre of Excellence.

In other news, Kidderminster have signed midfielder Gavin Hurren to a deal for next season. Hurren, a product of the youth side, has become a regular since Mark Yates took over. Kiddy have also released Paul Smith by mutual consent, after the player's mother fell ill.
