Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers sent Donovan Wilson to League Two Exeter in the January transfer window.
Donovan Wilson is loving life at Exeter City after joining the League Two club on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, as reported by Devon Live.
The striker moved to St James’ Park on the final day of the January transfer window and made his debut for the Grecians in Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Bury.
Exeter are eighth in the table, just two points adrift of the play-off places, and they will be hoping that Wilson can fire them into the top six between now and May.
The 21-year-old is certainly well placed to succeed on the South Coast, given that the youngster should fit into the passing style favoured by manager Matt Taylor.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far and I really like Exeter as well,” Wilson told Devon Live.
“They try and pass the ball a lot, which suits my style of play as well, which is good. There are a lot of different styles in League Two, but I like the way Exeter play and it suits me well.
“As soon as I heard about the interest, I was dying to go. I found out about the interest and within six hours, I was on my way down here, so it’s all good. It’s only about 80 miles from Bristol, so it’s really close.”
Wilson, who started his career at Bristol Rovers, spent the first half of the campaign at Jumilla FC in the Spanish lower leagues, scoring six goals in 16 games for Wolves’ sister club.
He will be hoping that an impressive spell in the fourth tier can catch the eye of Nuno Espirito Santo, with a lack of strikers at Wolves’ disposal opening up a potential place in the match-day squad next season.
