Rekeem Harper, a midfielder, joined Exeter City on a season-long loan in August 2022 from Ipswich Town.  Having previously played for West Bromwich Albion, he joined Burton Albion shortly after his time at St James' Park was over.

He made his first-team debut aged seventeen in the Premier League against AFC Bournemouth in August 2017 and signed a two-year professional contract a fortnight later. He was soon to go on loan to Blackburn Rovers for whom he made nine league appearances. 

Rekeem made seventeen Championship appearances (including a play-off game) in 2018/19 scoring his first goal for Albion against Rotherham in April 2019.
