Biographical Text
Roy Rew played a handful of first-team games for Exeter City between 1948 and 1950. He joined the club from Sea Mills and later played for Glastonbury.
Belfast-born Roy was a 24-year-old centre-forward playing for Bristol-based side Sea Mills when he signed amateur forms at Exeter City in the Autumn of 1948. A commercial traveller, he was originally reluctant to turn professional but - after a fine display in a reserve game - he was persuaded to sign.
His only game for the City first team during 1948/49 was in a 3-0 home win over Millwall in April 1949 when he was on the score sheet. Roy had two more league outings in 1949-50 against Notts County and Leyton Orient (both away) but was released at the end of the season when he signed for Glastonbury.
It is believed that Roy died in October 2014 in Essex.
