Ben Worrall, who had started at Swindon Town, joined Exeter City from Scarborough but only played in a handful of matches. 

Ben joined Swindon as a trainee in 1992 and became a full professional in July 1994. Having already represented England at under-18 level, he made his Swindon debut at Portsmouth towards the end of the 1993/94 season but was to only make two more appearances before joining Scarborough in August 1996.

After seventy-odd league and cup appearances for the Yorkshire club, Ben arrived at St James’ Park in August in search of a contract. Agreeing a short-term deal, Ben made his City debut against Rotherham United on 21 August 1999 and made four more appearances up to and including the match at Shrewsbury on 9 October. 

He later played briefly for Stevenage Borough at the start of the 2000/01 season.
