TIVVY manager Rob Dray has added more teenage talent to the Yellows' squad with the loan acquisition of Exeter City midfielder Gabe Billington.
Gabe, who is 20 later this month, is a second year pro at St James' Park who already has plenty of Pitching In Southern League experience under his belt.
A product of the Grecians' Academy, who he joined at the age of nine, he made his City first-team debut as a 17-year-old in 2022.
He had loans at Poole Town and Plymouth Parkway during the second half of the 2022-23 season before a broken leg suffered in the following pre-season ruled him out for most of the 2023-24 campaign.
He has bounced back this season, however, including playing for Exeter's Under-21s in the Premier League Cup against Bristol City and the Devon St Luke's Challenge Cup against Torquay United.
"Gabe is another young player that has been on my radar for a while," said Rob. "He’s got exposure already and will be a great addition to our squad."
