Feedback received: 

As an undergraduate studying Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Exeter, I have had the opportunity to gain invaluable work experience within the finance team at Exeter City Football Club. I obtained a detailed insight into not only the financial side of running a football club, but also the importance of all the different aspects working together in order to make sure the club functions both on and off the pitch. The team at Exeter City were very welcoming and it was refreshing working with a group of people who are so committed to the football club, its fans and the wider community!
