Charlie Cummins is seen as a player Exeter City can develop
Exeter City have signed midfielder Charlie Cummins from Irish side Cobh Ramblers for an undisclosed fee.
The 18-year-old has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal at St James Park.
Cummins joins City after a successful trial that had him feature in a friendly match against Southampton.
"We brought him in a few weeks ago and he was fantastic from day one, a really aggressive player, a bit of a throw back," Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell told BBC Radio Devon.
"He wants to tackle, a really competitive midfielder that I think in the modern game, with academies the way they're going, we're kind of losing that type of player.
"He was only meant to stay for a week, we asked him to stay and play in the Southampton game where he was fantastic, he set up the first goal and showed that competitiveness throughout the game.
"It was an absolute no-brainer to bring him into the club."
