He 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, by trade 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 in 1948/49 was in a 3-0 home win over Millwall in April 1949 when he was on the score sheet. Roy made 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.
