Johnly Yfeko came through the ranks at Leicester City and Tottenham’s academies, before moving to Rangers, where he made his first professional breakthrough and earned a senior contract in 2022. Since then, he has made 17 appearances for Rangers B but has appeared for the first team on just one occasion.

Still only 21, the full back has his entire career ahead of him and what’s most important is that he gets valuable minutes under his belt at his current age. Exeter City finished 13th in League One last season and will hope Yfeko’s addition can take them higher up the table in this upcoming campaign.
