Mitch Beardmore has given his thoughts as the Grecians prepare for a pre-season tour to Cornwall, where they will face Mousehole.
Beardmore spent time on loan in the far west of Cornwall last season and is looking forward to his return to Trungle Parc.
"I spent the last three or four months there last season and In loved every moment," Mitch said.
"They have some really talented players and a really good gaffer who was also striving to win, and we managed to make the players.
"Charlie was there with me and it was good to spend time down there with someone - he played really well down there as well.
"I spoke to Jake the manager before I went down there and he was really positive and I really wanted to go down there, it felt like the perfect option to develop as a player."
