In May 2019 Exeter City announced that Jess would be leaving the club 

Exeter City chairman Julian Tagg has thanked first team physiotherapist, Adey Saunderson and Jess Preece, sports rehabilitator, for their hard work during the past four seasons after it was announced they would be leaving this summer.

Speaking about their work, Julian said: “Adey and Jess have been a fantastic team! They have been an integral part of our success over the last four seasons. Their first-rate work within our medical department has really raised the bar.

“Both Jess and Adey have invested a lot of time, and effort, into improving the standards of the department and the equipment we have available. 

"Raising much-needed funds with the support of the East Devon Grecians, Adey has brought in modern medical, sports science and strength training equipment developing the facilities available to the players.

“Everybody at Exeter City would like to thank Adey and Jess for their hard work and dedication, and we wish them every success in the future.”
