Truro City have confirmed the departure of midfielder Harry Kite, who has re-joined Exeter City on a free transfer despite having a year remaining on his contract at Treyew Road.
What happened?
Harry Kite, 26, has signed a one-year deal with Exeter City, with an option for a further 12 months. The move reunites him with manager Matt Taylor, under whom he previously won promotion to League One in 2022. Kite had struggled for game time at Truro City, making just 14 league appearances last season and spending time on loan at Weston-Super-Mare.
Why does this matter for Truro City?
Kite’s exit leaves a gap in midfield for Truro City, who now face the challenge of replacing his physicality and experience. His departure follows a difficult season marred by injuries and limited impact, highlighting the club’s need to rebuild ahead of their next fixture: vs Torquay (at home, 2026-12-26).
What’s next for Kite?
At Exeter, Kite will aim to rediscover the form that saw him make 102 appearances for the Grecians earlier in his career. Taylor praised his explosive style and versatility, but noted the need to manage his fitness after recent injury struggles. The midfielder’s return to St James Park marks a fresh start after a short-lived stint at Truro City.
