Manchester City youngster Lakyle Samuel hopes his time on loan at League Two side Exeter City can develop his game.

The 20-year-old wing-back joined the Grecians on a season-long loan last month and has made eight appearances in all competitions.

He played seven times while on loan at Bromley last season when they won the League Two title.

"I think it was right for me to take the next step into professional men's football to gain that level of understanding on how the real game is," he told BBC Radio Devon.

"Under 21s football sometimes it can be a bit false at times and I think I experienced that sometimes last season, and this season.

"I'm always still learning on trying to improve on my on my game and being a better person off the pitch as well."

Samuel has been part of a much-changed Exeter squad still trying to find their feet following relegation from League One last season.

He has started three and come on as a substitute in three more of City's seven League Two games this season as the club looks to improve on a record of one win, three draws and four defeats.
