Randell Williams - who has also been on the books of Crystal Palace and Tottenham - almost joined Exeter in the summer

Exeter City have signed Watford winger Randell Williams on a free transfer and Huddersfield Town full-back Jaden Brown on loan until the end of the season.

Williams, 22, spent much of the past year on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, where he helped the club gain promotion from League Two last season.

England Under-19 left-back Brown moved to the Terriers on New Year's Day from Tottenham Hotspur.

He played in four EFL Trophy games for Spurs' Under 21's this season.

The length of Williams' contract has not been disclosed by Exeter, but he made 23 appearances for Wycombe this campaign, scoring three goals - the last in a 1-0 win over Barnsley on 8 December.

"I know how the club develops players," he told the club website.

"They are really good at it. They have sold quite a lot of players in recent years to top clubs so it is a great place to come and develop and I also know that they are fighting for promotion as well and I would love to be a part of that."

Exeter City boss Matt Taylor hopes Brown's versatility can allow him to be more flexible with his line-ups.

"He is a dynamic left-sided defender. We have got the experience of Craig Woodman and Dean Moxey who can cover that position, but this lad is going to get up and down that touchline time and time again," he said.

"It gives me an option if I wanted to play five at the back because he can play wing back."
