Mark Burrows arrived from Coventry City and spent two seasons with the Grecians between 2000 and 2002 before spending the rest of his career in non-league football.

Mark started as a trainee with Coventry City signing a full contract in January 1998. He played in the club’s losing FA Youth Cup final team in 2000 and, although a reserve team regular, never appeared in the first-team. He was released  in May 2000 and signed for Exeter City two months later.  

He made his league debut for City against Darlington in August 2000 and appeared thirty-two times in all competitions during his first season at St James’ Park. After picking up an injury Mark only played nine games during 2001-02, and after a loan to Merthyr Tydfil, was released in May 2002. He was destined never to play in the Football League again.

Hailing from Kettering, Mark played out the rest of his career in the East Midlands and East Anglia with King’s Lynn, Corby Town, Huntingdon, St Neots and Stamford.
