Sonny Cox: Exeter City striker hailed after double in Bolton draw

Sonny Cox has scored five goals for Exeter City since returning to the club in December from a loan spell at Yeovil Town

Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell has hailed striker Sonny Cox after two impressive goals in the 2-2 League One draw with Bolton Wanderers.

Cox, 19, lobbed Joel Coleman from 20 yards to equalise 10 seconds into the second half before blasting in a second goal four minutes later.

It came just a few days after he signed a new contract to stay until 2026.

"The goal made a huge difference, that gives you hope, that gives you belief in the game," Caldwell told BBC Devon.

"It was a fantastic finish. His composure, his quality - the keeper probably makes it easy for him - but he still had to do a lot to put it in the goal, and it was fantastic.

"His second goal, you won't see a better goal than that in League One probably all season in terms of a number nine playing against a very quick centre-half, knowing he's coming down on him.

"The way he shifted the ball from in to out to open up the angle, and then the quality of the strike - the power, the precision - it was a sensational goal.

"I'm delighted for him, delighted we got his contract signed before he did it, and there's many more goals to come for Sonny Cox in red and white."
