Exeter City boss Gary Caldwell has said they will hold ‘discussions’ with Fulham over a potential loan return for Luke Harris next season.
Exeter City landed the attacking midfielder on a temporary basis in the January transfer window and he has since impressed in League One.
Harris, 19, has made 19 appearances in the league for the Grecians and has chipped in with three goals and two assists.
Caldwell has said, as per a report by DevonLive: “I think he’s been a brilliant addition, the players love him, and he’s fitted in really well. I think he’ll be the first to tell you he loves playing for this football club.
“We will have discussions with Fulham about what is best for Luke next season, but I think he’s had a big impact and I think potentially more time with us next year would be really helpful for his development.”
Getting Harris back would be a huge boost for Exeter City ahead of the next campaign.
The teenager has caught the eye playing under former Wigan Athletic manager Caldwell and he will be benefitting from the experience of getting regular game time.
Fulham have a big decision to make on what to do with him ahead of next term when he heads back to Craven Cottage.
His chances of breaking into their first-team in the Premier League are slim due to the abundance of top quality options that Marco Silva has at his disposal in his position. Therefore, another exit wouldn’t be a bad move.
However, the Whites may want to test him at a higher level to further boost his development. If they were to send him to the third tier again, the Grecians would fancy their chances about re-signing him.
Harris has been on the books at Fulham for his whole career to date and has risen up through the academy ranks of the London club. He has been ever-present for them at various youth levels throughout the past few years and has played eight times times for their senior team.
The Jersey-born man is under contract until 2026 and has a bright future ahead of him with the Cottagers.
