DONE DEAL: Former Chelsea youngster Blackman signs with Exeter | OneFootball

Exeter City have signed former Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Jamal Blackman.

The former Chelsea youngster has had loan spells at Wycombe, Sheffield United, Leeds United, Bristol Rovers and Rotherham United.

"Jamal is the profile of goalkeeper we were looking for and one we had to be patient with. He has fantastic experience from the levels he has played at," Exeter manager Matt Taylor said.

"We needed a big presence and someone to take the pressure of the aerial bombardment we sometimes face as a certain type of team with a lot of young players.

"Jamal needs to play more games and get those numbers up. We're really pleased to bring him to the football club and it's a partnership that has to work both ways. We're under no illusion where Jamal wants to be in 12 months time."
