City midfielder James Dodd has joined Southern League side Weston-super-Mare on loan until January.
The 20-year-old has featured twice for the first team this season, facing Wycombe Wanderers in the Carabao Cup and Chelsea U21 in the Papa John's Trophy, as well as playing three times in the Premier League U23 Cup so far this campaign.
Following two serious injuries over the last two years, City boss Matt Taylor had previously stressed the importance of finding consistent game time for Dodd, so he will join up with the Seagulls until January and will be available immediately for Weston's FA Cup Second Qualifying Round tie with Taunton Town at the Optima Stadium.
James will continue to be available for Exeter City's non-first team fixtures, which includes the Premier League Cup.
