Was linked with Everton for a while, many down there surprised he didn’t go to a bigger club.
His parents will move up to Bedfordshire for him. Hopefully settles in well.

Sounds like a smart signing, good luck to the lad.
Also, I noticed that we said he had been training with us this week - just because things haven't been announced, it doesn't mean we aren't recruiting! And given that we've made this announcement fairly early in the day, maybe there are one or two more to follow later?..."Never too high, never too low"

Jake Richards, 17 year old midfielder from Exeter. Erm, OK.

Sounds like a really decent piece of business.

A colleague in my office works for Exeter City part time and is gutted to have lost him. Played some games in league 1 last season. As of Thursday last week he heard the rumour that he was coming to us as Jake had turned down a contract offer with ECFC. It’ll likely take the lad a while to settle in but it is a good move for us and for him.

We’ve only got skinny Yoof sizes, available in the new team kit.

It is actually a very good signing - someone who has interested teams way higher than ours.

Sounds very promising. Already played in league one also.
Re: New signing

Yep, he does sound very promising, but we shouldn’t expect too much of him at just 17 years old. We need to get younger in central midfield though, so could be a really good signing.
In a departure from the norm, the fee is TBC rather than undisclosed!

Both Matty Taylor and Kingsley Black started out as 17 year old for us and did alright in the first team!!!

He's from the academy which produced Ollie Watkins, Jay Stansfield and Ethan Ampadu.
Watkins scored against us when he was 16 (I think) - good enough/old enough surely?
He's the sort of signing we need as we evolve a new team, I'd say.
(Re your last sentence, as I posted yesterday not a single EFL domestic transfer fee has been disclosed so far in this window! This one will go to a tribunal as under 24 and he has left of his own will)

Concur.
Wasn't long ago people on here were crying out for "we need to go back to what we used to do" i.e. scout up and coming lower league players with a bit of talent and a point to prove. Now we have signed that profile of player some are still not happy.
Like the fact that he played with Alli so hopefully know each others game. Hopefully, both will grow and progress with us.
Personally I see this as the replacement for Thelo so expect that to be announced soon.

Yes I know about the tribunal, it was just a light-hearted comment regarding the fee. I’d like all transfers to have fees disclosed, but I don’t expect Luton to do this unilaterally

Exeter have a good track record of developing young talent and apparently bigger clubs have been sniffing around. Played 32 games last season at just 17. Definitely a very good prospect.

Sounds like he's Matt's pick.
A potentially exciting signing and good that he knows and has played with Alli.
Encouraged that he's come to impact on the first team and joins a group of very promising young players that I hope will be pushing the senior pros this season.
