He's a big loss to us because of the quality that he has." Trevitt's first loan spell at Exeter was cut short in January 2024 after he suffered a serious injury that prematurely ended a season-long had scored five goals in 23 games for the Grecians in his first taste of senior league football, including scoring two goals against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup fourth went on to make his Premier League debut for Brentford at Tottenham last September before re-joining Exeter earlier this year."His biggest quality for me is his ability to see space, get there and then his quality of finishing, as we saw in his first time here, is very high," Caldwell added."He can do everything as a midfielder."He can build as a six, he can arrive in the box from deeper positions with energy, out of possession he's been brilliant for us, winning the ball back high, protecting the backline, so he's really an old school all-round midfielder."
