Luke Croll: Exeter City sign Crystal Palace defender on permanent deal

Luke Croll did not make a senior appearance for Crystal Palace

Exeter City have signed centre-back Luke Croll on a permanent deal after his release by Crystal Palace.

The 22-year-old made 20 appearances last season while on loan with the Grecians, who were beaten by Blackpool in the League Two play-off final.

He featured three times for Exeter's Devon rivals Plymouth during a loan spell in the 2015-16 campaign.

"Even at the back end of last season, when I wasn't playing that much, I wanted to stay at Exeter," Croll said.
