West Bromwich Albion youngster Dara O’Shea has once again moved away from The Hawthorns on a loan spell, but this time he steps up to League Two level with Exeter City.

The 19-year-old heads out to the Grecians on a six-month loan spell having spent the season with Hereford FC in 2017/18 to bring his development on further.
He follows in the footsteps of fellow West Brom youngsters Kane Wilson and Kyle Edwards who have both previously spent time at St James Park last campaign.
O’Shea is highly rated within our youth setup and he was named our Scholar of the Year back in 2016/17 and his time at Hereford FC was productive as they romped to the Evo-Stik League South title last term.

His spell with them saw him find the back of the net seven times so his wasn’t only productive on a defensive basis. Hopefully, this spell will be a similar success given it’s a step up for him.
Best of luck Dara!!
