Alex Hartridge endured a torrid start to life at Adams Park, and was sent out on loan to former club Exeter City in January.

It was disappointing to see Hartridge's first venture away from Devon come to a premature end in January, albeit only temporarily. The defender didn't have the best opening six months at Adams Park.

Before arriving in HP12, the 26-year-old barely featured for Gary Caldwell's Grecians in the second half of the 2023-24 campaign, after revealing he wouldn't be extending his stay at St James Park.

It took him a while to get up to speed in a Wanderers shirt, after a poor showing against Wrexham, gifting Steven Fletcher what would prove to be the winning goal with a poor clearance.
