Jim Storey played a number of games for Exeter City during 1953/54 having signed from Newcastle United where he had not made the first-team. He later played for Bournemouth, Rochdale and Darlington.

Jim had been playing for Spen Black and White when he signed professional forms with Newcastle United in May 1948. Staying for five years, he did not appear for the first-team and eventually signed for Exeter City in June 1953. 

After making his Grecians’ debut in the 1-0 victory at Southend United on 17 October 1953, Jim enjoyed a run of six league outings through until the end of November before only making three more appearances for the club with the last coming in mid-March 1954 at Bournemouth.

Subsequently signing for the Dean Court club in July 1954, Jim failed to make a first-team appearance before joining Rochdale in June 1955 where he featured in 24 league games ahead of a 1957 switch to Darlington.
