Maybe it’s the heat, but I cannot for the life of me put a Fisher and Pond joke together, anyway…
Yeovil Town have announced the loan signing of Exeter City’s Alfie Pond.
The central defender had been on loan with Tiverton Town during the 2021-22 season with Grecians’ gaffer Matty Taylor describing him as someone who “is going to be a serious player” following his first team debut in a JPT game.
6ft 3, Pond becomes the 6th Glovers loanee meaning one of Sam Pearson, Sam Perry, Will Buse, Finley Craske, Matty Grivosti and Pond will have to sit out of each match day squad as per FA rules only permitting five in a match day squad.
He has been linked with Celtic and Rangers in the past with Exeter’s academy regularly on the big clubs’ scouting lists after numerous successes.
Commenting on the loan move, Hargreaves said; “Alfie is certainly an exciting prospect, but he’s someone who we believe can make an impact now.
“He’s proven he can make the step up to men’s football whilst at Tiverton, and will become another valuable member of our squad.”
There were no details of the length of the teenager’s loan agreement in Somerset, however, at tweet from Exeter suggests he is with us until January.
✍️ Good luck to Alfie Pond who has joined @YTFC on a loan deal until January ?
