"I can't speak highly enough of Jake, my words don't do him justice," Exeter manager Matt Taylor said of his captain.
"He's not undervalued by our supporters, but he's probably an unsung hero in terms of what he does, we see it on a daily basis, we see it in his performances in the pitch and his driving attitude.
"In a season where we've relied in the young players to play well and produce performances, and maybe some of our senior players have struggled throughout this season, Jake's been second to none, he's been outstanding, our best senior player, and has probably been that for three years," he added to BBC Radio Devon.
