Exeter City in 'good shape' for new season
Exeter City midfielder Reece Cole feels the Grecians are in "good shape" ahead of the start of the new 27-year-old has scored in both of the club's pre-season matches so far this month as City prepare for a fourth successive season in League face two games in as many days this week as they make their final preparations for the season - taking on Torquay United at Plainmoor on Friday before hosting Championship side Swansea City in Pierce Sweeney's testimonial game a day later. "I think we look in good shape," he told BBC Radio Devon."The numbers are good from the feedback we get from the S&C [strength and conditioning] coaches, so we feel like we're in a good place."Two really good games again next week, Torquay on the Friday and then obviously Sweeney's testimonial on the Saturday."So two very different tests and probably two different game plans that we'll go out and try and play, so hopefully it puts us in really good stead for the season."Injuries hampered Cole last season - with his absence from part of pre-season a reason for him playing just 13 games before new year. "I missed a massive chunk last pre-season," says Cole."I came in with a little bit of a niggle and tried getting through things and got misdiagnosed with injuries and it ultimately killed my season."So I think maintaining your fitness in the off-season when you're away from the club is important. "But then when you come into pre-season, you need to be ready to go and you're going to feel niggles, you're going to feel tired, you're going to feel like you're hurting but you just need to get through it and it will put you in great stead for the season."

Snoop Dogg becomes co-owner of Championship club Swansea
US rapper Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr aka Snoop Dog speaks during the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California on May 3, 2023. --AFP Snoop Dogg has become co-owner of Championship side Swansea City in an unlikely alliance between the world of rap and football, the Welsh club announced. The 53-year-old American star joins former Real Madrid stalwart and Croatia World Cup finalist Luka Modric in the club's ownership structure. Snoop Dogg made a surprise appearance on the club's social media channels last week modelling their new home jersey for the 2025-26 season and the club announced on Thursday that he has become an investor. His involvement comes after American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen took over the club last November. Swansea will hope that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, can use his 100 million-plus social media followers to boost the club's profile as they seek to return to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated in 2018. Swansea's owners have said they want to generate greater revenue, which would allow them to invest more in new players under the profit and sustainability rules in British football. The 53-year-old rapper said on the club's website: 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. 'I'm proud to be part of Swansea City.' Swansea announced in April that Modric, who this week joined AC Milan at the age of 39 after leaving Real Madrid, had acquired a stake in the club. 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile,' Swansea's owners said in a statement. 'Snoop's colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that, and he has made clear to us throughout this process just how excited he is at the prospect of joining the club. 'Snoop has openly shared his love of football and his desire to be involved in the game and we expect his involvement to support us putting as competitive a team as possible out on the field.' Swansea's Welsh rivals Wrexham have achieved a meteoric rise to the Championship -- the second-tier of English football -- since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the club in 2020. — AFP
