Bolton Wanderers Academy starlet Cleveland Taylor has joined Third Division outfit Exeter City on a month's loan after impressing in a pre-season friendly for the Grecians.

18 year old striker Taylor gave Exeter an 82nd minute lead in their 1-1 draw with Premiership side Southampton in a pre-season friendly at St. James Park. This prompted the Exeter management to push for a loan deal to allow Taylor to take part in their Division Three campaign. However, Taylor still harbours ambitions of first team football at the Reebok some time in the future after he made his first team debut in the FA Cup away to Stockport County last season.
