Jack Sparkes became the third former Exeter City player to join the club after arriving for an undisclosed fee from Portsmouth in the summer of 2024. Sparkes, who played alongside Joel Randall and Archie Collins for the Grecians, helped Pompey to promotion from Sky Bet League One during the 2023-2024 campaign. 

Sparkes has an excellent left-foot, is dangerous from set-pieces and joined the ranks following an injury to Rio Adebisi.
